DO NOT USE THE SAME USER NAME ON MULTIPLE FORUMS OR SOCIAL MEDIA.

Yesterday, I was interested in an item in the classifieds. The seller did not leave contact info, so I simply Googled their user name and found that the user name was in use on multiple forums and even on a twitter account. A couple of clicks later, I had a name. Searched the name on White Pages and got a phone number. I now own the item that was for sale.

A while back, I got a bit annoyed at a poster who was presenting their self as a sort of golf guru. Applying the same techniques, I was able to look up their golf handicap, and just as I suspected.......................


Not trying to make a point. Just throwing out some info. Use it or ignore it....all the same to me.
