We are once again receiving reports and complaints that some new members are being persuaded to exchange personal details as soon as they join.

This is normally a tactic of a scammer lying in wait and only when they do this are me made aware of them, but then it is too late as they then are in possession of the member’s personal contact details to be used as they wish.

This is not allowed as the Terms and Conditions of Membership clearly states, as our intention is to try and protect our members from scammers to the best of our ability, but this needs cooperation from members

Members must be made aware of the danger of exchanging personal information with a stranger when joining.

Thank you.

Pats and the admin team.
