You know the "HOT or NOT" application on FaceBook?
Well... Lately a lot of guys have been adding me
and messaging me
I message them back, but mostly the conversations are just like hey whats up, nothing you, just chilling, thats cool hows your summer?
Like that.
But so far, this has happened with over 25 guys! My FB doesn't have any personal info, such as house or anything, but it DOES have my first and last name... and I would NEVER give out my address to any of them.
So am I safe?

but theres most likely more than one of your name in the whole world of people with facebook.
so you shouldnt worry=D!
amberbritt answered Thursday July 12 2007, 9:09 pm: well kinda but i think you should take your last name off or just put the first letter of your last name but they might can find something or find you with your last name like on myspace but somebody can ask one of your friends like i know your friend and they would say your first and last then your friends will trust him and he would ask for your number or addres and they will say something and your friends might think its your friend or not but take your last name off [ amberbritt's advice column | Ask amberbritt A Question ]
FrEe2bMe answered Thursday July 12 2007, 8:45 pm: While that is good you don't have too much person information about yourself on Facebook, there are still risks in chatting with others you may not know personally. Having your first and last name does leave oppurtunity for them to further find out more if they really wanted to. In addition, the network you belong to can give out information about you. For instance, your school, city, work, etc. Also, the other friends you do know in person on Facebook are an issue. These guys you are talking to can look at your friend's pages if they don't have their privacy settings heavily restricted and find out information about you based on what they may have on their page about you or similar to you. Be careful with what you post and to whom you speak with. I suggest not talking to so many people you don't know. You may want to edit some of your privacy settings/wall posts/pictures, etc. It's amazing how far some people will go to get what they want, so please be careful. :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
