Exactly. Nothing is going to happen. Except somebody knows from what country you're posting from. Uuuuuuuuuuhh... scary, huh?

I'm not sure, I'm far from a computer pervert.  But there are many wierdos out there.  If you've already had someone looking to see where you're from, that's a cyber stalker.  They can hack into your computer I've seen it, been there.  

My computer was set up for me by a good mate who works as a digeredoo player but spends most of his time on the www and helped do my firewall.  If they try to find me, I'm in Australia one day and LA the next, but I've already stated on my GetBig profile that I live in London England?

I've had people from GetBig find my adverts on eBay and GumTree and post them, they're very clever on here, many if not most of them sit in their Grandparents basements lifting weights grunting, on the interwwweb the other 23 hours unless they're not slurping protein milkshakes and killing people on a games program.

I'll let them have my identity if they want it, go fetch my bank account you can have it !



Take care out there, they can hack anything and they will

Turn your computer off and shut down often
