POSTING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Good point  With all the problems with identity theft these days you would think people would be more careful with their personal data

I agree

I think because people are tied into other mediums like Facebook and twitter etc they think nothing of posting this information online.
At the moment on my private email address I am getting heaps of Nigerian scam type emails telling me I have won $5 million, have an inheritance coming or an offer of a substantial fee to transfer someone's money into my account.  I just delete them.

I completely agree that you shouldn't post personal information.

I can help with that $5 million.  Just send it to my bank account #2318008 or call me at 867-5309.

I swear you all need to come teach this fact to people in Saudi Arabia!! Daily I see people post their phone numbers and email on expat & facebook.

Will do Hailey     You can phone me on 045 832 179 area code 617 to finalise the deal.

I get e-mails on almost a daily basis saying that my bank is reorganizing all of its clients accounts and I must re-register or my account will become unaccessable. The e-mails always look exactly like the official banks' webpages; logos and all. They never stop coming! Funny thing is that I don't have any bank accounts in Brazil at all, and I know that no banks here contact their clients by e-mail (they only respond to e-mails that a client has sent to them).

I am still getting emails from Nigeria asking me to help get money out of various African countries and I will get a percentage for this. A new one yesterday was my daughter has a rare cancer, I have millions of dollars which I need help in getting into a foreign bank so I can arrange treatment for her.

Hi Priscilla

These emails are coming into my private email address, not to EB.
I will definitely report any that come to me via EB.
