Internet news
It was reported in the Daily Mail (paraphrasing) about burglars using Facebook and Twitter to obtain information from people and later robbing them.
In the survey, they found that many people join another’s social networking site, gain their confidence and find out as much information about them. The most gullible are those between the ages of 18 and 25. They obtain their name and other vital information then keep watch on their site to see when they will be out of the house for work or on vacation. Then the burglars break in and rob them.
Insurance companies want to increase premium for families that have a social networking site.
My comment: If you have children it’s hard to control what they say on their Facebook, Twitter or other social networking site. But it is advised to tell them not to give out even their last name, and not to tell when they will be out of the house or on vacation. Even just giving out their last name and town, the buglers will have enough information to see what their address is by finding it on the computer.
Another old warning
If you get an email that claims to be from your bank and they ask you for any banking information, don’t give it to them - no matter how good the reason may be. It could very easily be from a criminal who wants banking detail to steal money from your account. It has recently been reported that 52 million pounds a year is stolen this way in the UK.
