That's not entirely true, as I mentioned earlier if someone gets your name & address, bank account number & sort code they can have a go at forging a Standing Order form, it's then entirely in the hands of the bored bank clerks whether the form & funds gets processed or not. The name & address are usually the easiest part of the equation to get

Possibly - but not mine.

You can probably find the name though.

I could find your name & address easily enough Dan

Why couldn't it happen to you?

I'm trying to think where you would get my address from.

My real one, that is.

Maybe he got the wrong email?

It turns out it was an honest mistake, its just very unusual for that email account to get any normal mail, its all spam etc. Sorry to the person it was

P.S I blame it on having a really bad day!

JohnnyG · 9 Mar 2006 at 16:45

Off one of the lads you bought stuff from on here maybe, that'd be my first shot

You think you had a bad day?

I think the person whose address and phone number you put up on an internet forum for everyone to see is having a bad day :rolleyes:

Heh - I suppose so, if they were willing to cooperate.

Although I have moved home since the last transaction

There's always and electoral register lookup - If I had registered.

Or the phone book - Were I listed.

Or you might work for an ISP / Telco, in which case, would it be worth your job and a custodial sentence? (Or for a mate that worked in one).

You could do a whois on domains I own - you may find that quite amusing.

My real bank details and car reg?

Are you mental!?!??!!

Someone on this forum in one of the threads i replied to. As i said before i never use that account any more and didnt realise it was in my trust.

And again sorry to the person whos details it was.

Heh...

Shouldn't be too hard to find a forwarding address from the new owners etc.

Didn't think it was your bank account, not unless you bank at Barclays in Edinburgh

Who me?

Never!

Why would I, as a private individual, not want to make my home address available to any monkey on the internet?

Now, I'm off to Buck House for tea.

If my memory and general perception serves me right, there's more to Borris than meets the eye...or maybe less truth to his posts than we think.

*spooky music*

If you have a .uk domain name, as a private individual you have the option to opt-out of having your details publically available. As far as I know ICANN have no such policy and as such you're breaching your agreement with them.

That is, of course, unless that information is correct... :eek:
