I once made the mistake of using my given name on another site. A woman I had been talking to took that information and general area and tracked down my phone I was getting over 20 calls a day from her at all hours. This only stopped when my husband told her he had now gathered enough information from her calls to pass on to the police if she ever called again.

There are lots of dangers on the internet people should be aware and take what precautions they can to keep themself safe.
