Well, it’s because you chose to share it when you set up your profile.

Members can enable both private messaging (wise) and the ability for anyone here to email you (unwise).

The internet is like the Wild West, gotta protect yourself because we can’t.

Thanks, I had no idea that option was even there. I changed it now. Things were a lot safer 21 years ago.

Please check join date by clicking on username.

If interested in something , send pm with contact info.
or call seller once you get number.

I just had a guy ,that is interested in something ,post contact info in reply to ad and he said someone contacted him and he almost sent PayPal.
These scammers are causing
a lot of trouble.
Be careful.

Thanks B-man!
Made changes to contact info.

How do you disable the email part? I tried and didn't work.
