Why do people say dont give info about yourself?

If you give information to random people you may get hacked and they will destroy your life or try to find you...
And that's creepy but they do it cuz they evil and want data and money

if its over the internet and thru messages and whatnot, ppl can trace that information and hack ur accounts and such. that happened to me. i accidentally gave out a password after someone asked my fave numbers and i kinda typed it out. >.> i dont use that anymore and i changed my pswrds just in case. then they can track where u live and find ways to reach u irl. etc etc

Well...if you tell your name to a stranger...then they might end up searching things more about you like, where you live as they try to track you down...as soon as they track you down...it might lead you either getting kidnapped by them or death...which is why you should always be more cautious around people that are specious like that...especially your phone number...if you called a stranger, and they figured it out of where you live that resembles your address is not a good See More▼ sign...but it can be serious though, depending on what kind of situation it is...

So creepy stalker people can't find you. I don't get why they'd want to but apparently people do.
