Do You Always Give True Information?

I give my real and complete information only to my payment processor PayPal. To other sites, I give real but limited information. It's always safe to put limits on everything. Just so we can avoid unpleasant circumstances or consequences.

hi bannybanzie I am told I should not always do so by my son but I am an truthful honest woman with no sins to hide. I just trust people and I realize on the web thats a path to a lot of scams and spams. I do have one folder for private email which has information that is all hidden I am there under an assumed name. lol lol I am so sickeningly honest it is patheticl

I don't often give out my real information to all the sites that I join in. It actually depends on the site or reason for my joining in the site. For one thing, I need to give out my real information for paypal (after joining MyLot) since they are going to need those information for them to transfer my earnings from this site. If I opted not to use my real information for my paypal account, there would be problems when I have to transfer funds. On the other hand, sites which I just need for downloading something that I need once (drivers, photos, etc.) I usually have a pseudo account for those. I don't think it's safe to really divulge all the information about ourselves online since we are susceptible to a lot of crimes like identity theft since the world wide web is open 24/7 and available to anyone in the world. The topic somehow reminds me of a foolish thing that a friend did. She actually posted her passport and driver's license online in Facebook. I know that they claim to be secure but there are security issues everywhere, right? A lot of our common friends and her friends told her to take it down and I think she only took it down after several weeks. Who knows who had gotten into those, it will not be something new if I would hear one day that her identity was taken by someone because of her foolishness. Have a great MyLot experience today and keep safe!

I was on AOL for several years when I first went online. I had trouble with hackers ALOT. Until I left AOL I kept a false persona, my alter ego as it were. I even have both names on Facebook incase people are looking for that were on AOL. I kept that alter ego for along time. It was a name I would have liked to have changed mine to anyway.

hello Banny, When I joined sites that requires true information for payment purposes I always give my true details. As long as it won't asks any account number,like credit card or bank account. Same here in mylot,we need to disclose every information that this site asks us. But of course,we must be careful when signing up with many sites.

Like you, I don't give out so much information online. If I can skip filling the information, I would. But if I can't skip it, I would not join the site...

If the website asking for the information is a trusted one then i would not hesitate to provide true info. Otherwise i trying not revealing my true identity.

well, I have presented myself as male on Pogo, but that's the only place, and that's because I like the male pogo "minis" better than the females

It really depends on the site in whether or not I'll give the truth of my true identity because I don't want to get a bunch of email in my inbox or junk mail but the sites that I order things from, I do give all of my information so that my order will make it to my home. Now for friends on the internet, I am very truthful that it's gotten me into trouble a few times. In other words, I've said things that came out the wrong way and it's gotten a few feathers ruffled till I explain what I meant. Sometimes it smooths things over and sometimes it doesn't. I say this, this is me, like me or not, this is me. I'm true and real until I'm crossed.

Usually I will research a site first to make sure there are no pre signs of illegitimacy. Though there are no guarantees even with the research, what I do is apply as minimal information that I need to place upon signing up. It will be truthful information but very minimal and only what is required for the sign up. If payment information is not requested upon sign up, I hold off, until I am sure I can cash out and or find further detail about the site.

I always give true information because what is the benefit of not doing so. But I never disclose my identity online as it may be harmful for me.

You are right. You can restrict giving information in websites. But when it comes to earning they will require your full address and there u may have to give it correctly. good day.

Hello Bannybanzie, i usually give the true information while registering on various sites.But i give information which is mandatory to register other informations normally i skip.I always hesitate to give phone number now to any site because i already have experiencing the effects of giving it to some site as they use your number like to promote their products every day i get countesses SMSs from different companies in which they just ask to buy their product.I would suggest all to never give their phone numbers to any site while registering on that site by my experience.

I joined few sites, just those useful and great sites. And I always entry the right information. I wouldn't sign up to a site which is I think a risk for me. :)

For the most part I give real information, just maybe not all of it. Of course when I signed up for Mylot I did not know that there were ways people could take advantage of you from your profile information. Now I do not give out so much, so freely.

hi,its really a TIMELY AND USEFUL DISCUSSION..WHERE MANY OF US NOT GIVING TRUE INFORMATION as they may misutilize our info especially bank details..mail id.s..so it is better not to give true info except in the case of paypal/alertpay...because they have to credit our earnings properly.. all the best and have a nice time.

hello BB, I can't remember a site that asked my full address they just asked which country I am from but if ever I will encounter this I will not give my full address it's kind a risky. But I always give my name actually my nick name happy mylotting

If it is a trusted site I do. I always do as much research as I can on a site before joining. The only thing I am leery about is giving out my s.s.n.

Yes I am always give true information, while I hide my personal information to use fill profile, because some security must be applied . So i also regard every one to do like me..
