Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 709139, member: 4552"]Be real carefull about what you THINK has not been entered into such web sites. Remember that even if you don't enter a lot of personal information, others may do that. And if you use your real name and the State your in, you would be amazed at what is available on the internet. Ever hear of People Search? Unless you have a really odd name, you just type in the name and the State and you get all the possible people with that name. With a possible age or town, you can really narrow it down to who they are. And that is all free. For a few dollars more you can get as much info about a person as you want.I first saw that on the news where a TV station entered CIA headquarters and got all the info you could imagine. Then they went further and requested the CIA employees, their names and addresses and thier locations. All was given. Of course after that, those things were removed. I thought this might be fun so I went to People Search. I entered the name of a person I used to know about 30 years ago. I entered this State, figuring he didin't move much. I entered his age and marrital status and got his address, phone number, email address, amount of children and lots more. I called him and we got back together for coffee a few times a Month now. My point is don't get involved with web sites like Facebook if you have even the slightest security concerns.[/QUOTE]
