I wanted to ask for some advice.
I am a member of a group on Facebook for the area I live in.
I posted last week I had received a letter for someone at my addres and I asked the group if anyone knew where the person lived in my road.
I had no response in private messaging and that no one gave me her address.
The abuse I got was awful, I was accused of keeping her mail, and people were commenting I knew a lot of people in America!!
Yesterday I got a knock on the door from the woman's daughter asking for the letter.
It transpires that someone had given my address out without seeking my permission.
The admin from the group has said 2 people gave out my addres their identities would be secure.
I find it very unnerving that my address was given out to a stranger and the admin wont disclose wby whom.
Under data protection laws I feel I have a right to know.
The post I had put up has since been deleted.
Any advice?
