Too much available information on forumites on MBY/Google

Since that I have received a lot of emails from dubious sources including one Scottish git who wanted to inject £5 m into the uk economy via my bank account.

That'll be Gordon then.
He just hasn't told you yet that the £5m will be your own anyway!!

The paranoia has not got to me as my boat name and real name brings up nothing about me personally, bit dis appointed but that's what comes having a handle as common as cat's do do.

I think that having your full name in your bio is what triggers the link in google, so that then people can see your nickname and then your MBY posts. Once I dropped my surname off the bio it went away. Email spam was never a problem, I think Daka is right, that comes from someone posting the email address in a post somewhere, which is then picked up by a nice generous Nigerian benefactor.

I am still surprised how quick the posts from here appear on google, normally a matter of days.
