For the benefit of everyone, and to ensure the safety of personal information, would all users please note that they SHOULD NOT include any personal information such as email addresses, real addresses, telephone numbers or other identifiable material in their post. Such information will be removed by the Administrators or Moderators. This is for YOUR protection. As part of the registration process, your email address is held by the Forums to enable you to be notified if there are any replies to any of the posts/threads you have contributed to. People registered as members on this Forum can contact other members directly for advice using the Private Messaging (PM) service. They DO NOT need to know your actual email address as this function is automatically taken care of by the Forums.

Personal Information and Scams

These also fall into the phishing category, as they use social engineering/manipulation techniques to gain further information from you:
They already have your e-mail address (either chosen at random or from details found on forums and other websites). All they want now is some data to link that address to an actual person, and this is what the above quote shows. DO NOT under any circumstances reply to any e-mails that ask for this information, especially if they also want your bank details (I suspect that if you fill in this information as requested by the scammer, you could well get another e-mail asking for those details).
This is why I strongly recommend EVERYBODY to read this post, and to take note of what it says.
Unfortunately, if you do put your e-mail address on a post it may be too late. By the time it has been spotted and removed (or if you subsequently realise and remove it after sending your post), then the chances are that it might already have been spotted by the scammers.
