Toto2Kansas Posted April 13, 2008 #13 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Search engines will pull up anything you might post on a non-secured site. Message boards are NOT secured sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynda90 Posted April 13, 2008 #14 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I would definitely suggest that anyone who has put personal info such as date of birth, along with their city and state, remove that from their profiles. Scammers and spammers can find out all kinds of info with those two statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casshew Posted April 13, 2008 #16 Share Posted April 13, 2008 How do CC replys get to Google????? Really dont like that!!
