The security of not releasing too much of your real identity over the net without scaring the piss out of them?

My partner is really bad for throwing our real first and last names around everywhere a long with our photos and I have a really good-hearted friend who is a bit child-like with her trust in people.

I don't want to give neither of them impression that they should unplug the net and run away all together but stress that in masqueraded situations they shouldn't reveal themselves entirely in public areas.

Yeah, see - it's things like this that are the reason that I'm trying to get away from guard work.

Had I been on duty - that's when I would've snuck away for my smoke break.

I would just tell them the truth. Say that more people are getting scammed online because anyone can view their personal details. Nothing is 100% secure, so try to avoid using full names, addresses, dates of birth and other personal details that could be used to forge your identity. Try doing it over a pint or something haha.
