    It's not phishing. Phishing is imitating a trusted organisation in order to trick people into providing passwords.

    California - if someone wants to contact you by other means, you may want to check what information you give out that way. For instance on Facebook, depending on your privacy settings, friending someone may show people your timeline, friend list, email address or other contact details. Personally, I don't see much security risk merely in connecting via social media with one stranger (the biggest risk I can think of is from the friend list although any communication channel can be used as a scam). This would be a rather inefficient way to scam someone.

    Rachael - can I ask what your favourite way to chat with people is, and why? Do you not like the NAS forums because they are provided by the NAS?
