I (just like many others) recieved an e-mail sying that someone was looking for me. Curious, I clicked the link and it took me to the site. I filled out some basic information (zip code, name, bith day) but I DID NOT give out my credit number like they wanted me to. I deleted my profile but now I am starting to get worried. Can they get a hold of any serious information from me, bear in mind that I didn’t give out anything that was serious, just my birthday, zipcode and name. Also, just in case, do not fall for this. I kind of new it was a scam, I was just curious.
I also changed my email password just now. I am REALLY SCARED about what just happened, but I NEVER gave out my credit information or my id number.
Also, I have NEVER bought anything over the internet
Can anyone hep me out and tell me what I need to do ?

Ok I’m kinda concerned. I was checking out a local free dating site and this girl emailed me and said to hit her up on yahoo chat. So I did. Within 2 days she was saying she wants to marry me. Freaked me out so I looked her up on a nigerian dating scam site and found her profile! I never gave her any personal information other than my name. I’m worried she might hack my computer or something because I pay all my bills online/credit cards, etc. Do you think as long as I didn’t send money or give my soc sec# number I’ll be ok? thanx

Hi All Just another video from your favorite boa hater! Anyway, this time I discovered that boa charges people Cash Advance fees when they swipe their cards to use a parking meter! WHAT!!!
