How safe is your idetity on the internet?

yes-I know that these databases are given to a lot of companies when they are doing a mast marketing of any product or services. Not only do they buy out the database of e-mail addresses but also a lot of companies take database from the mobile companies to which we register. They sought their data according to their own filters and that is the reason why you get specific calls. Like let me tell you one incident. I got a new postpaid connection which I think was previously owned by a businessman. I must didn't but still I used to get a lot of phone calls from big banks to have a credit card of my own. Every time I used to tell them that I don't have that much learning to keep a credit card of my own. Then one day when adding the same type of quality into my mobile phone and asked them indirectly until they wants to talk to and then I realised that the person they were talking to was not me they wanted someone else but because the number has changed I am the one who is getting all the calls for that particular person.

this is a serious threat, I always make sure there is https in the address bar when I am making online transactions and also the lock featured. atleast I can prevent myself from getting duped. I don't give my personal mail id to unknown person. it is always my yahoo id created for junk purposes. bye

actually i worried about my identity very much,i have register lots of websites which most of them i am not sure whether it's safe or not.my hotmail often receive trash email that i have give up using it anymore.anyway,the internet is not safe i think,we must be careful.

Its appear from alots of sources,for example when people creating yahoo during process there is a tick box where yahoo ask for submit your id to yahoo directory by default its tickmarked,and many people forget to uncheck this box,so then your id visible to whole world and your mail box full with junk mails,there is only a one example
