The subject of invasion of privacy and identity theft came up recently.
Figured everyone should look into methods used to steal your personal information.

Even posting a photo of yourself in your profile is not a good idea.
Awhile back on another board I saw a thread where a fellow was asking the members to be pen pals with a sick friend.
He wanted the members to send her a letter and tell her about exactly what sort of guns they owned, and of course give her their address so she could write back. Was this legit? No way of knowing unless someone was gathering the information to pinpoint the homes of these members for burglaries and they come home one day to find all their gun collection gone for good.
The right to privacy is a basic human right, though they didn't spell that out in no uncertain terms in the Constitution. An amendment doing just that has been presented in recent years.
So protect the personal information of yourself and your families. Big Brother isn't the only one who wants to pry into your personal life.
