Identity Theft: is it safe to post photos/other personal info on a BBS?
I've seen photos of license plates covered up or blacked out here on Pelican yet I see pics of spouses/significant others. I've seen personal info displayed such as birthdates, REAL names and cell phone numbers. Shouldn't we be more concerned about identity theft? I wouldn't know what to do with the random bits of personal info I come across here but someone with a malicious streak would. Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I've been taken for $917 recently.
Some punk or punks got a hold of an old credit card account I hadn't closed and went on a shopping spree at Kragen Auto Parts. Luckily, I had fraud protection insurance. I wish I knew how they got my info.
