The lady hears something that makes her nervous.
She doesn't know whether she has heard an unfounded rumour, or the absolute truth, or indeed a totally malicious rumour.
She feels the need to speak to one or more "third parties" to either confirm or deny her fears. She could just believe the friend, but then she would have the wrong information, and may pass this on to others.
Her fears relate to Bali and travel, so she tries the Bali travel Forum.
It seems as if you would prefer that she did not post at all, which is fine, but i'm not sure who else she could go to.
