    Salaamun all,

    I am curious to know why people hide their identity from others? Is there any specific reason or reasons?

    Please get me the reasons you think, as I found almost everyone doing the same.

    All reasons are welcome.

    Take care,
    Khan

            Thank you for your reply,

            But I know you, you are my friend who wants me to jump off a bridge. laugh How do I know? You told me yourself in your avatar

            Actually, I find people they don't show their real name, address, email, pic, etc.... And even when you ask, they hesitate to provide with such info, this I found almost on all the forums, email, etc. But your case looks different

            Did I miss something?

            Take care,

              i dont mind showing a pic, but to share imformation, who am i sharng it with someone who has a pic of themselves, what do i know what goes on, on the other side of the screen that i sit behind , i think it is common sense not to share such things (personal information) until one is sure and trusts the other. even as friends. i will not share my last name, i will not share my number, some people like more privacy , but i think you should now all this already.

                Salaaman Anna,

                i dont mind showing a pic, but to share imformation, who am i sharng it with someone who has a pic of themselves, what do i know what goes on, on the other side of the screen that i sit behind , i think it is common sense not to share such things (personal information) until one is sure and trusts the other. even as friends. i will not share my last name, i will not share my number, some people like more privacy , but i think you should now all this already.

                I know, I understand that no one like to share their personal info with others, that is what I asked.

                Is there any specific reason or do everyone has different reasons. For example, I don't know why, but I don't mind saying my loooooooong story and about myself on free-minds. But, I found others unlike me. I don't understand that. For other forums, if you are new, you don't know most of the members, then OK, I do understand that. But why? ???

                Even if two person are in contact with each other through a forum or mails in two flats besides each other, they don't know that the other one lives beside him. Is there anything great in it?

                Sorry for creating confusions ???

                  now im confused............well if you were walking down the street and there are a bunck of people there, would you just ramdomly give them your information.....its the same on the net, and even worse becasue here there is fraud and hacking and alot of things. agian its common sense but maybe you are new to the net and dont know these things, never give your password never give your real name and difintely never give your number to anyone,never accept any email unless you are 100% sure who they are from because some are viruses, there is a letter going around on email fron supposedly the government of canada but it is actually coming from the uk and people dont know this and give all the information even there bank information. thats terrible, this day and age my friend is the age of keeping all of your information to yourself. scary it is indeed, beleive it or not i feel violated everytime i have to use my bank card. i dont like any kind of cards i like the old fashion way.

                      Salaaman Anna,

                      now im confused............well if you were walking down the street and there are a bunck of people there, would you just ramdomly give them your information.....its the same on the net, and even worse becasue here there is fraud and hacking and alot of things. agian its common sense but maybe you are new to the net and dont know these things, never give your password never give your real name and difintely never give your number to anyone,never accept any email unless you are 100% sure who they are from because some are viruses, there is a letter going around on email fron supposedly the government of canada but it is actually coming from the uk and people dont know this and give all the information even there bank information. thats terrible, this day and age my friend is the age of keeping all of your information to yourself. scary it is indeed, beleive it or not i feel violated everytime i have to use my bank card. i dont like any kind of cards i like the old fashion way.

                      You scared me I had a walk through all the streets full people and visited the banks and so on...

                      I know, I am not asking to disclose of Bank information, but what others can do if they know your name? Not yours sorry, I mean any name or contact number?

                      Alhamdulillah, I am not new to Internet, but I am not into those things and I am aware of the emails you told asking info and other emails from Nigeria for transfer of funds in millions. I know they are are fake. Let say, they got my email ID and they know my name, they are sending me such emails, I am simply ignoring them, then? What do you think in this case?

                      OK, if it is a case of a girl, then I can understand, but I am talking in general.

                      Till now, I learn that we should not disclose our bank details to anyone. Anymore reasons for personal details as I did not find any solid reason yet. I simply want to understand thats it. If we are hiding it for some reason then ok, but without any reason ???

                      Thank you for your responses Anna, any more suggestions and/or reasons are welcome.

                      Take care,
                      Khan

                          They use your information (Name; age) on fake passports used in fraud and ripp-offs. Fraud is more serious than what you know.

                                Oops! This is really scary. I never thought of it.

                                May Allah protect us from all the frauds that exist in this world and that has to come.

                                Thank you for your reply.
