Giving out your personal information... the bait!

I see lots of profiles where members give out their first and last names along with contact information like a phone number or email address. To my thinking, it's either a scammer or stupidity. Can people be so naive in this day of scams to divulge so much personal information?
A new profile this week has a woman in my state who says she's a widow with one daughter making over $150,000 a year and will treat her man like a king.
I'm inclined to believe it's a scammer and all (the goodies) mentioned in the profile is the calling card to catch a guy looking for an easy ride. That's the bait!

I could be right.
I could be wrong.

I doubt that anyone who mention their contact information openly on profile on a free dating site , they are naive ... I think actually they are very very clever !!! wink
All the numbers and emails that get mailed to me I paint all of those on zillions of ladies public toilet doors.
Tanz, clever in what way?
I see you winking...
It is scary when Men send me their personal info. in a first message.

These Men don't blog and it is hard to know a little of who they are.

No I don't call them nor send emails.
confused
Yes Chatillon,
you could be right . .. or
you could be wrong ...or you just like to look at the bad things regarding people.
I am one of those people who give out their phone number and sometimes email. I trust people.
, but after reading your attitude / gossip maybe I should just stay to myself.
It is sad our Society is so paranoid and scared of one another. And of course your letter is one of the main reasons we are scared of each other.
Always with love and understanding and with regards to your gossip PATIENCE .
Hi Chat,

I gave my phone number and skype and I made friends with those members for a long time now. I think I'm just good in picking genuine members from the fake ones.laugh sigh
One woman hitting on me had a story about her late father's fortune. She sent a photo of a suitcase filled with money and offered it to me if I married her!

laugh
CH, I lived for SKYPE and had 2 accounts. One for business and one for internet friends.
