How scammers are getting some people email address

Recommended Posts

Several members have their email address visible in their profile.

 

To see if your's is visible click on your name in the upper RH corner and select "Profile" from the drop-down.

 

Then select Edit Profile. I circled it in red.

Scroll down to Contact methods and make sure all the fields are blank.

 

You might want to review the other information to make sure there is nothing there a scammer can use.

Just because a scammer may have harvested my email address or phone number doesn’t mean I’m automatically scammed.  I’ve got this mass incased above my neck that determines if I will allow myself to be scammed.

Well, one just tried to get me when trying to buy something. Definitely not the seller. The only way that he could have emailed me was to get my address off of my profile. I caught it though. I have now removed my email. I don't need the aggravation. Folks will now have to PM me to get any of my contact information. Thanks Dave!!

Took my email off a long time ago as I was suddenly getting a bunch of spam and I replied to one asking where they got my address. Amazingly, they told me, here off my profile!!

How about we use the email for the white house? I know; I'll use Mark Kelly's email.

I see you have your email address in the "AIM" field. You also have your birthdate filled out. Find the edit button for your profile and make sure all of the following are blank, and save the edit:
