Posting personal information on forums - a very bad practice

Post new topic

Hello Jerry,

First off, you've posted this reply in absolutely the wrong place. You should be posting directly to the Nigeria Forum.

Also, would you kindly refrain from using Cap Lock when posting to our forums. Here it is considered shouting and may offend people.

Cheers,

Thks for the info.How do I delete my inbox which is full pls? I can no longer receive any messages.thks

James

Hello patouk,

Click on the mailbox icon in the green banner at the top of the page to open your mailbox. If you look at the toolbar directly below the green "SEND A NEW MESSAGE" button you will see on the left two boxes "View" and "Display"...  on the right side of that same line there is a button that shows GEARS, this is the "Manage Conversations" button. You can go there to delete your unwanted messages.

Cheers,

Hello MH Hilmi

There is an anti spamming system on the site, so as to protect our members.

If you want your private messages to be active, you need to participate on the forum, check out the multiple threads, bring your expertise and automatically the private message will unblock. Be sure to participate wisely and be relevant to each post, otherwise it won't work.

No need to post your bank account information, just mail me a signed blank check and let me know what your total balance is, I can fill it out and cash it.  :lol:

You can't be serious? This is one of the safer sites, just think about all the stuff you put out for the whole world to see in your Facebook or LinkedIn accounts..... do you have any idea of the risk to your personal security that is? Posting personal and identifying information anywhere on the internet is just plain DUMB and asking for trouble.

Just imagine what crooks could do with all that information and being able to see your house on Google Street View........ scary!!!
