I only had other people's best interests at heart, but I have removed all my replies as I don't want to be accused of jumping to the wrong conclusion, acting as judge & jury, or anything else. I just hope that nobody gets fooled into giving out personal information that's used for the wrong purposes. Mandy PS - Hi CB! It's not the one typing in capitals that concerned me, it's the one offering lookups but asking for an awful lot of information to do so!

I have friends who read GR Boards while at work but are not allowed to use their employer's computers to post on websites. It's quite possible for someone to spend a lot of time on GR without being a full member, so perhaps that's what the message was meant to imply. For someone who isn't used to using a keyboard properly, typing all in capitals is not uncommon. Some people post on the Gen Board entirely in lower case. If membership is restricted to over-18s, then someone who is 16 shouldn't be posting on the site at all. Paul, unless you know the young lady is a 'div', you're making an assumption by calling her one. CB >|<

Like I said, she's probably just a div! I'm sure abuse will sort it soon enough and put it in the correct place. I know its annoying when people put 'WHERE'S MY DAD?' on the success board, but thats life aint it? I'm just saying it could be completly innocent, and just try not to jump to conclusions!

End of the day, we can't do anything. We've said our bit. That's it. It's like some dodgy Court Room on here sometimes.

That is very strange indeed! Is it who she says she is? Or is it someone trying to get information for other means? I would be extremely careful about giving my details this way. Vikki xx

It's probably very innocent. I think she's probably just a div. People shouldn't jump to conculsions.
