Just trying to be helpfull here and stop conmen ripping people off.



Conmen can easily find out all your info from your name and tel. number.



They can steal your identity, get credit cards in your name, mortgages etc etc.

good point shrimp, I think TOO DEEP into things, my mate said so last night. But to be honest with you though, with the above info and the proper hacking tools (which you can buy legit from the government, eg wheel clampers do) you can access anyones personal info. Not posting how to here exactly because it would be unethical.

Hilary, when I originally posted it I had been reading messages where people had put up personal info and I thought how easy it would be for me to steal their identities, get cc's mortgages etc etc



I'm just trying to let people be aware that things like that can go on. Especially with this being an open board that anyone can see.
