Why is anyone still on facebook? This honestly should be a rhetorical question...why does anyone still use this site. The latest...indian scammer now use your fb info to target you. A distraut young woman will call an elderly person in the us pretending to be their granddaughter...named... Yep you gave them the info..say sally. "Sally" now is in jail for a dui and despertly needs the grandparents to wire money for her bail. That god people blog about every aspect of their lives and include all that juicy person info.. People get of the fb |

I's not just the book of face, that's just a way a lot of people package up a lot of information into a nice identity theft starter kit. Some years back, before facebook became prominent, I did some pretty heavy duty identity theft exercises, not with any bad intention, just an engineering/educational exercise. I just wanted to understand the technologies behind these things, and how easy it would be to exploit them. I destroyed all the information I had collected. It was easy, of course, to get name, address, phone number, but then I could pick up social security numbers, credit card numbers, names of children and relatives. It really woke me up back then, and I know a lot about what to say and not say, when and where. I try to stay current with the technology and procedures. Social engineering (calling people and getting them to tell you things) has gone to shit with Indians and their heavy accents, but some people are just relentlessly stupid. I enjoy the calls from "Microsoft" service claiming I'm having a problem they need to fix on my computer. The only "problem" from their perspective is I run a Linux distro and have exactly no Microsoft software running. I've seen videos where they'll call someone with some hacking cred, who allows the connection, then turns it around and totally gronks the scammer's box. Yelling and bad words ensue.

A network's value depends on the number of people on it. Depends on how important those people are to you. If all your relatives and friends are on FB, then you'll keep logging in to hear from them. Eventually, people will move on to a better FB ... and they'll keep doing stupid things and getting scammed.

Never give out information. Never answer the phone. Max out your ability to leave a voice message. Have a backup plan. Never let them see you bleed. I gave my phone number out once to someone I thought was a friend on here. She in tern gave out my number to a bunch of subs who definitely were in need of psychiatric help. Talk about a dirty snowball. They all spun stories. They created a web and that even Charlot could not emerge from. They had a single vision: create chaos. They revel in it.

Facebook has gotten too political and downright mean spirited.
