Warning about a forum's security

This is a warning concerning the Honest John (HJ) and Car4Play motoring forums.

 

I was a member of the HJ forum at the time that they had technical difficulties and had to close for about 4 weeks.

 

I received an invitation to join a new forum called "Car4Play" (the message came from Car4Play). This invitation asked me not to say how I had been told about the Car4Play forum, but to say that I had just 'found it' whilst surfing the net.

 

Two points ......

 

1) The only way that Car4Play could have sent me the invitation was to have got my email address from the Honest John forum, so the Honest John forum is not secure.

 

2) Car4Play has been involved in some unethical activity and in my view is not to be trusted with any personal data.

 

A copy of the 'invitation' is available to anyone who asks for it by PM.

 

You have been warned!
