what is so dangerous about giving out personal information?

You should never give out personal information because you have no clue who you are giving it to.\n\nIf you do not know who you are talking to then do not give out your personal.\n\nIt would be like putting a sign up in your yard with your bank account and social security numbers and telling other to go to the bank and get my money out of my account.\n\nThere are perverts on the internet.\n\nI do not give my email address to many friends.\n\nI never give anybody my passwords.\n\nTell your boyfriend or girlfriend they do not need to know your password.\n\nno wonder they read your mail and stalk you and your friends.\n\nDB

Sounds like you're quite young -- for your own safety you shouldn't give out ANY personal information.  Not even school or location.  \n\nSeems innocent enough, but .....\n\nStay safe.

It is NOT safe to give ANY personal info over the Internet. There is the possibility that someone can steal your social-security #'s and use them for illegal "Green-Cards". There is "Identity-Theft". And, most important, never "believe" anyone on the net. The super-nice, cool, guy/girl you've been chatting with for 6 months, could turn out to be a 58 year old child molester from Montana.\n    BE CAREFUL!!!!......good luck!

You can't and that's why they are dangerous. They seek out troubled young people and become their "friends". They gain the trust of people needing to be able to trust or talk to someone & then they will destroy the lives of those they impact when the time is right. Don't ever give out your personal information to anyone and never, never be afraid to tell an adult "NO" if you feel something's wrong. You should assume everyone is a predator and take nothing for granted ever. Young people are trusting and obediant by nature and the predators know that.

be careful and analyze all words, then phone or cam, then just be careful, not to tell home address, you don't want every one seeing where you are. even though you might be able to trust the person interested in you, there might be hackers and pedophiles just waiting for you to say or even give a hint to your real location. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR REAL NAME AND ADDRESS, friends are good on line, but the big bad wolf is ever watching, now just be careful, and, have fun, that is what life is supposed to be, bad people make good things not fun any more.

Hi jt.  Yes chat rooms can be dangerous if you give out personal information such as phone numbers, address, where you go to school, along those lines.  I found out "the hard way" people can track you down and pinpoint exactly where you live just from a few bits and pieces of personal info.  So go to chat rooms and have fun, but keep your personal business to yourself! Good luck!

It's not MYSPACE that is dangerous.  It's the people who post too much information for everyone to read.  At the same time, most that information can be found in a phone book.  The thing about posting it on MYSPACE is a criminal can look at many people in a short amount of time and find their weaknesses...like "my mom and dad grounded me from the phone cuz i wasted all my minutes...i hate them...wish i could run away."  then the predator is like hmmm, i could lure this one away...easy.  ETC.  Just when you post on there, limit who can see what.

Keep them to yourself.  Never share personal info. out of a sense of obligation or turnabout.  They like you for who you are and what they already know about you.  You won't win them over any more than you already have by divulging info that can compromise you.  Sensitive info doesn't put you further in the circle and can sometimes backfire.  Trust your girls to watch your back, but you watch your own first.

Why do you want to know their personal information ?

Nothing is entirely safe on the internet. I don't mean Yahoo is dangerous. I mean anyone can hack anything. So, I never give away important information about me.

You have to be really careful about giving out personal information to sites that you aren't familiar with because you never really know who is legitimate and who isn't.  Plus, when you apply for some online they will send you so much junk mail both email wise and snail-mail wise that half the time you really wish you never applied or entered in for it in the first place.  From experience.. just a few tips.

No, it's not a dangerous program at all. It means your privacy settings have blocked a cookie (temporary internet data that websites use to track surfers).

There is a safety reason why nobody should be doing this. If you look around the site there are many dubious people looking for contact details. Some probably nice but nieve as anyone can see them... Others I report for safety as you don't know who you are dealling with and its dangerous to meet up or give out details... Several kids have complained or nasty messages sent to there emails.

Maybe you should be more careful about posting your personal information, hon.  You just never know.  Stay safe.
