LEM Swap requires that you post your full name, city, state and zip, not your home address. Though opinions may vary, I'm not convinced this is an entirely unreasonable requirement if you're planning on taking money from people. ¬ _¬ If divulging that kind of information to a third party is a concern, I'm guessing you don't sell on eBay, either, seeing as how eBay requires more (much more) information than that from sellers. I'm not sure if you were just being sarcastic or what when you said that posting your social security number is a requirement for LEM Swap, but as others have pointed out, that's not the case. >hmmm sounds like id thieft waiting to happen. I'm not about to claim to be the sharpest knife in the drawer, and you may know something I don't, but that's a new one on me. I can see someone being able to steal your ID with your home address, yes. But with your name, city and zip? I don't know about that one. >since signing up for these groups ive gotten nothing but porn spam This, also, is a new one on me. No offense, but I strongly suspect that something other than your subscribing to this group triggered the onrush of naughty spam into your inbox.
