This morning I got email from someone I have met from another news group,
inviting me to fill out contact information. Trusting him, I went to the
linked site. It asked for my full name, home address, business address
and phone number, occupation and all sorts of very private information.
Damned if I can figure why someone I know from a news group needs my date
of birth, but as soon as I saw that I exited the page quickly, content
not to have filled out anything before leaving.
