I'm on there and my full name and location is also on there. But not my phone number. BUT it IS out of date, several neighbours are not there anymore,...and havent been for a long time., plus I now tick the box on the form so my new details are not shown. And to be honest, this thread had most likely now shown everyone who didnt know about the site, a way to look up other members details.....which has more and likely done more harm than them finding out about the site by accident....

If folk have been pointed to the site then this can only be a good thing!!! Its one thing telling people to beware....... its another if you show them just how its done!!! Forewarned is forearmed!!!! Karen

Karen There is no need to show them how its done. Now they know the name of the site, they just use the search box on the home page... Pretty easy really. BTW im not knocking your warning, just the pointing of, to the site in question, where anyone who is reading this thread, will likely to have a look.and a go at putting in names....such as I did lol !

Hi Karen Someone ages again was on about security on here, telling people not to put to much personal details on here, so i tried the b4u site and fount quite a few people, in the wrong hands this could be very dangerous indeed, not only that, people or should i say full members need to remember that you do not need to be a paying member to read these boards, anyone can read all the stuff we put on, so nobody really knows who is reading what or when etc. best leave personal stuff when emailing someone if you really need to share that kind of information :-)

Hi Bev That is scary isn't it:( But I don't want to get all paranoid either and start worrying about who I talk to and what I say cos things like that are the exception - I suppose it's about using common sense and yr probably right about not using yr name. I hope you feel a bit more comfortable again. David

I'm sure it would make fascinating reading Bev!!!, Who knows what sort of weird and wonderful folk are looking in on our conversation!! Just cos we pay to add to the threads doesnt make us immune!!! We also seem to have a member with photographic memory???? If my memory serves me right he remembers details and brings them up months later!! Scarey stuff this WWW... Karen PS If anyone knows my surname could they please tell me!!! LOL
