It does allow you to delete your entry but if someone pays you're still on view.

You'd wanna be a serious f**king gobsh1te to type your email address into that.

El Horseboxo

Put in an address that i just use for spam and stupid sign up things. The site just crashed.

Has my name as a fake name I gave when starting the email account or that.

Never put real information into worthless sites.

**** sake


Normally I don't fall for this shite but in a moment of pure stupidity I typed in my main gmail account.

Nothing came up and I didn't even think about it again until 2 mins ago I started getting messages from a friend on gmail (beeped on my android phone) as this guy messages me on gmail chat the odd time I didnt instantly cop on but it was obvious a min later it was a chat bot or something.

Then I remembered this thread.


**** sake, kept that e-mail clean for so long.


Advice?


Oh yeah and cheers op

kelle

I typed in an old e-mail address, it came up with my mother's name and showed a book she bought on Amazon!

However, apparently she is on one social network site : rubbish, she died 6 years ago before social networking sites were known about!

Always remember to ask a parent before you go on line. The interweb can be a scary place.
