You know. Newbies who come on and ask for everyone who lives in such and such place. what ages are your kids. etc etc.
I just generallly assume they are compiling info and trying to sell something.

I agree op , especially posts where they ask to see your engagement ring or bedroom decor for 'inspiration'..🙄, sure some are probably legit but I also think first that is possibly someone fishing for private info to hack you and rob you.....can't help it, I'm a worrier but people on here are strangers, stay private!

To be fair I think anyone who knows me would recognise me from my posts - like they’d put together my number of children, their ages, my work etc and would think ‘oh isn’t that Jane?’
But I only write the stuff I’d say in life. So anyone who recognised me would only know stuff that’s obvious like above - my job, how many kids I have etc. I think if I was going to post about something I wouldn’t want people to know/something personal, I’d just name change and start a new thread.
I don’t know about selling info though. How would somebody knowing I have 4 kids help them sell anything? Because they’d know that anyway/could find it out easily.
