I just want to bring some heads up to everyone, Internet is maybe a free space BUT I doesn't mean that freedom will make do post whatever you want. You should be aware that someone may steal your information if you mishandled them like posting it recklessly and without thinking of the consequences. My advice is not to disclose your personal infos like Bank acc number,SSN, some copy of IDs because someone might photoshop it and put their names and steal your identity. Be responsible enough with regards to your actions over the net. Let's all remember that those who do such things were the ones who were easy target for thefts.
