    Don't give him your personal info!
    Okay, so.

    I understand why tis bad to give out your address, last name, house phone number to some creep you just met online but what's so bad about a Cellphone number?

    No way you can track me with that.

    Right ?

    ::Not that I do go around given some internet creeps my nubmer but it's a general question out of thought xD"

    Oh haha, I have nothing agiansnt that. My boyfriend that I have been with for almost a year , who I love with all of my heart, I actually met him over Myspace and then later when school started we found out we go in the same school<3.

    But I only asked because I always hear people "Never give out your number" But I never saw how a Cell phone was a threat. Cause like my Away message on AIm is my phone number.

    Hahaha its ironic how you find love in the weirdest place eh?

    Ty for answer though.

    Ohhhhhhhhhh I seeeeee. Yea I remember that. I wish Cell phones can track down a blacked number.
    I hate when someone calls me on a blocked number and if I don't pick up the phone I never know who it is!

    Some people can trace your personal info for just 20 dollars. There's one site I know through verizon but that's just address and phone number and not sure what else.

    Yea, that's how I got your number.

    Everything is traceable, I wouldn't give out my number just in case... In the uk we have pay and go mobiles... dont know whether you have them there but they are safe to give out as you just buy a chip (and put it into your phone) and you don't have to exchange any information when doing this!
