Sneaky Sneaky


I get quite a few registrations for the site and since I have the system set up so that I have to manually activate memberships I find I get a lot of sneaky spammers.

Someone trying to hack all the information that's been collected here from all our members re: Canadian Pontiacs. Just a thought.. Maybe it's Trump spying on us Canadian's.........

Maybe someone is connecting through a VPN and proxy server in Turkey. Don't know why they'd do that unless maybe Turkey's Netflix is better...

I tried something.  I just fired up my VPN and connected through Turkey...  I'm surprised that I show up as a "guest" from Turkey but I apparently I can still post as myself...

OK, now I'm confused.  Looked again and now I show up as being from Turkey, but the Turkish guest is still listed too.

If I keep this up, ALL the users will be from Turkey.  I think I'll close my VPN and just connect through Canada..

That's better, back home again....

All I can say is keep up the great screening work Todd. The more I spend time on the net (and who doesn't these days) the more I get a bit unsettled about all the stuff about me that's actually out there. Every once in a while I just google my own name (which is unusual enough to get some significant results) and it is unnerving to see what has been accumulated.  I remember vowing years ago to myself that I would make sure to keep my personal info private and yet over the years the amount of financial transactions, personal stories, pictures, my address etc. that I put on here (not just this forum) is a bit frightening to think about. It just sort of creeps away on you. And I have never even gone on Facebook or twitter or any of those social media sites.

At this point I don't think there is even an option to wipe my history if I wanted to, so the only I hope have to stay unmolested by scammers or hackers is a sort of herd immunity. By that I mean I suppose there are billions of people on the internet for a start and of those billions there must be at least a billion or two who have way more exposure from a "living on the internet point of view" than I do. The other thing is to stay off shady sites and pay attention to your messages in terms of "This doesn't look quite right." My main hope I guess, is not to win the reverse lottery or pick up the computer equivalent of a social disease.

Unless I move completely off the grid, which I am too lazy to do, I suppose this is modern life.
