When placing a listing, gig, event etc., online or submitting a post to a messageboard, classified ads pages or other free service viewable by the public there is nothing to stop malicious individuals and “spammers” from using the information in your ad(s) in a manner that you may not agree with and we suggest that if you need to display contact details you use a business or work telephone number and a web based online email service or similar services like Googlemail or Yahoo – we do not recommend Hotmail and may delete your listing or account if using their system which often returns emails back to our system as invalid.
