St John gifts-info for users
Hi-
We are almost up to 3000 gifts sent! Wish I could make some money off it. LOL.
Anyways, something that was a little disturbing for me...when you get on the application now it says to enter your email to "find out about when new gifts are added" or something like that.
PLEASE don't do that. That has nothing to do with my application that I know of.
The gift applications are all run by a software developer. The email request may be legitimate and simply trigger an email when I add a gift. But I am always suspicious when someone asks for your email for no real reason (they could just send you a facebook notification if something is added).
So best case scenario is someone is going to get your email to send you spam. Worst case is more sinister-I have heard about some facebook scams that are more disturbing.
Anyways, wanted to let you know I would never ask for anyone's email. Likewise, when you get notifications on Facebook that gifts have been added (and usually none have been) I am NOT the one sending them, it is the software developer trying to increase the use of their applications, I guess to get advertisers.
Anyways, just do the basic stuff (gift sending and receiving) and nothing else and you are fine!
I am sure this applies to all gift applications-and many other Facebook applications.
Just wanted to let you know!
