Did anyone here receive a strange PM?

Wow,  I would feel so uncomfortable with a phone number.  Imean, to me, I would not post my number.....I have close friends on this forum that I have PM's regularly, but have never exchanged a phone number...not that I would never do that, it would have to be a very special circumstance with someone I feel very trusting.....Phone numbers can be reversed look up and then they have your address and they can get more info.  Be caustious!

Yes, we do have to be careful.  I have 2 friends on the forum that I've exchanged email addresses with and some personal info, but I have known them the whole time I've been on here.  It takes a while to get to know people anywhere, but especially here where we don't have "f2f" meetings! 

Tots, am I losing my mind or did you post yesterday that you had been in Prague and couldn't find anything good to eat?! I thought for sure you had written something like that b/c I was going to say, why didn't you tell us you were going there! I could have told you some fabulous places to eat...one of my most favorite restaurants in the world is there! I'm salivating just thinking about Germknödel!!!

I'm a newbie and guilty of pm'ing my #. I only wanted the person I pm'd to know I was not up to no good. I understand the need for security and have been doing my research through all of the posts. My post was cutoff (lol). I was saying that I narrowed down a couple of sources. dr. b doesn't have an affiliate in my area and I need to look up info online for M** A***. thanks for all your patience with the "newbie". Reading through the posts has been very helpful!
