Facebook and "Fake" Friends

[Linus]

No.. this isn't about those who you might question on their reasons for friending you (even after they stole the last piece of chocolate cake!). This is about people who friend you just to spam you and your friends. This is a new method of spammers getting eyeballs on what it is they are "hawking":

So be careful and remove personal info from Facebook (e.g., there is NO reason to have your home address, home phone or real name on Facebook). Remember that if you put any of that info on there, someone, somewhere will likely find a way to it.

And not all those out on the net are friendly like here.

I have never used face book or any of the new fangled things for this reason..besides I dont have the time anyway to fool with it.When I first got on computer I,not knowing any better prolly put a bit more info out than I should have,thank goodness it wasnt anything that could be got hold of by anyone that wanted to gain info to get into any important accounts and numbers.The ppl who do have my addy and phone number are ppl I have known for quite a while.I have seen sone serious dangerous things happen to others who werent to careful.
