Did anyone see watchdog tonight?

They were talking about that Face Book thing. The crims are stealing identities from the information given like names, addresses, DOB etc. to apply for loans and access bank accounts and all sorts.  So be aware!!!

Just going to check my forum profile

They'll have a hard job doing that with my Facebook ID - it's completely fictitious!

But it is something to watch out for as Facebook is supposed to be a networking community so most people do post their correct details there.

Thanks for the info.

It's scary stuff.

One woman had £6,000 taken out of her bank account!!!  They can get a lot of info by putting DOB and addresses together and then go to other sites and electrol rolls, put them all together and voila!!! I should be ok I always lie about my age anyway LOL.

Steve,  remember the good old days when we used to go clubbing to meet new mates?? Think back . Anyway this is the new way to meet up for the young uns. That's the really scary part. There is also beebo adn myspace, keep up now  .

From my early days on the net I've always given a slightly fake date of birth...you can never be too careful really.

Steve, don't worry about Facebook anyway, it takes over your life once you start using it.  I've given up with it now but I did need to go into rehab for a while
