    Hi everyone

    As of late its happening more and more often that members are posting their contact details/phone numbers on their threads

    Just a reminder.... this is an open forum... anyone can pick up your details and it can lead to dangerous or unpleasant circumstances

    Please... think twice... take care.. and rather pm your details..
    Rather be safe than sorry..

    Aslo spambots troll the internet - they can pick up anything from emails to phone numbers. Then spam you.

    This is an open forum. Not a good idea to post you personal contact info.
    Rather chat by pm
