The main plus with Facebook is being able to stay easily in touch with family spread out all over the country - but it is one of the most dangerous personal information sites on the Internet, used by scammers, predators, and burglars.BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-58202861404602810882010-07-25T04:10:42.250-07:002010-07-25T04:10:42.250-07:00Thats why I have NO facebook page or any personal ...Thats why I have NO facebook page or any personal info out on me over the internet.<br /><br />It is surprising what people disclose with a internet site but wouldn't remotely consider doing in person. <br /><br />Everything, save for secure, corp sites that I use for business purposes, has a phony name and personal details attached to it. <br /><br />Who I am and where I am is none of your damn business. Nor the scammers. <br /><br />Ebay has seen more and more scammers in its ranks and is a big reason its declined in popularity. <br />And don't get me started with craigslist. People inviting strangers to their homes to look at valuble items. C'mon folks. Meet at a public place or consign it to an auction. Never your private address. <br /><br />People are trusting. Like that American Pickers show. Two guys knock on someones door and the people let them in and wander among their property. <br />It would be a great ruse for a distraction burglary which happens often to trusting seniors. A team of thieves come in while the " picker" is keeping the homeowner occupied. <br /><br />Maybe I'm paranoid but I was in Detroit for 20 years and I have seen all kinds of cons and scams attempted where I worked. I trust no one.whydibuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101676402335591169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-89345535817386998432010-07-23T06:36:10.625-07:002010-07-23T06:36:10.625-07:00Low down dirty dogs comes to mind as a descriptive...Low down dirty dogs comes to mind as a descriptive phrase for these clowns, Charles - but that would be an insult to dogs. :)BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-7767411964302379402010-07-22T20:40:23.534-07:002010-07-22T20:40:23.534-07:00The complete "scum" nature of some human...The complete "scum" nature of some humans never ceases to depress me.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-33528706687890135322010-07-22T15:28:24.912-07:002010-07-22T15:28:24.912-07:00They really messed up my Mother-In-Law.

The FBI does with their data mining system already in place. Whether they do or not is anyone's guess. :)BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-35638860089829997422010-07-22T15:18:28.911-07:002010-07-22T15:18:28.911-07:00Holy crap!
