Is it safe to give address and name and phone # to someone you dont know over internet? I know it says it all!!! It cannot be safe to do such a thing, but I want to know is there any danger? Can anyone use my name and address and phone# to do anything?

Um. STALK you. KILL you. RAPE you. all sorts of nasty things that scary people would want to do. That gives out any kind of information that they need. Plus if they hack into your computer and and steal your bank info... you handed them the rest of your #s.
now if we're talking about a friend who you've know for months and stuff.... then sure exchange numbers. but make sure you know who you're dealing with... and make it mutual.

Week after week there are posts about scams Most of them involve sending money to a foreign country on the promise that they will send goods but they require payment to start the ball rolling And here you are asking about doing the same thing And what age did you become brain dead? For a start - You did NOT contact the seller - you sent them an e-mail address I'll bet. So you have NO IDEA where that e-mail went to or came from. (town, street, house) How the f//k do YOU know that the details in the ad are correct? Cos they said so? Suppose ALL the info is correct, you send some money, then they decide not to bother doing anything but just take the money, What are YOU gonna do about it? - Go to cameroon and sue them? So if somebody were to come up to you in the street and say," I have got an African Serval for sale - just give me your full name, address and phone number and 1/2 the cost now, the rest later, and I will send it to you" you would do that? Some people are just born without a brain cell in their head. They might just as well throw their money in the street.

Well..it depends, like what for, if u mean a stranger/person you don't even know, of course it is, u never know if there a seriel killer or something.If you mean like to by things over the internet, i have bought stuff and nothing ever happend.Or if you mean like entering a contest to win or that it says you won and stuff, if i were you i wouldn't trust it. Hope it helped :D

address might be kind of bad, but who cares about phone number, if it's your home and it isnt blocked then yea theyll get your address anyways but if u give them your cell who cares, it might say u live in tht city, but there's prob another 100 thousnand people there so it wont matter

using that info, they could find your home very easily using something like mapquest, google earth/maps, or microsoft live search...name tells them who you are...and phone lets them reach you...
not good to give out personal info to strangers...they can pull tons of pranks on you..such as calling a pizza place and telling them to send like 50 pizzas to you...
well, just dont give out anything more than your first name
