One of Those questions….

What jobs have you had?

OK, I will admit to having jobs, a few of them, but I’m not saying what.

Why? We give out a lot of information freely over the Internet. Stuff that only friends and relatives need to know. If you start telling everyone everything then other people can steal your identity.

People here know I’m trying to be an artist, and that I have done various jobs in my life. But to write it all down in a post asking what jobs you have done? That seems a little unsafe. Data protection is important and if I tell things that I don’t want people to know, I think I’m being foolish.

That said feel free to tell me all about yourself. I promise not to steal or use your data!?

Tell me everything that you do

So I can tell you my story too

And I won’t tell

Jobs you do well

I won’t lie, I will be true….

Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there that want your information. Whether it’s your jobs, or bank details, what year you were born, your star sign. Where you went to school. How many jobs you had. We think of sites like this as a friendly forum, and in the main it is. But sometimes it’s better to be circumspect. X

  1. Totally agree. This is also one of the many reasons I don’t use my real name online (or as an author). There are a lot of identity thieves online, especially on Instagram, who can easily take a screenshot of your picture and pretend to be you. I’ve had some author friends who had their pictures stolen by scammers pretending to be them (either making a separate account with their name, saying their accounts got hacked or as another name so that you can’t look for them). Even confronted one who was pretending to be a popular influencer trying to scam/romance women. He kept denying it (to the point where it was almost believable but his grammar was so off and sounded so immature) but I was able to find the real person’s account, let them know that someone is impersonating them, and blocked + reported the identity thief.
