Hi Carly! Thank you for sharing your opinion. I understand what you're 
saying, but it's not about distrust and fear, but rather being cautious. I 
wouldn't be asking him for anything that I haven't supplied. He has seen my 
pictures, and I am willing to give him my last name as well. It's better to 
be safe than sorry.
