I was not referring to those being security risks. Facebook is a security risk. I have seen and heard too many stories to risk using it.

For example: You sell an item on Facebook. The buyer pays you cash for the item while casing your property, car, etc. Next thing you know, you are robbed. Not neccessarily at your home. Once they case you, they can rob you (or family member) anywhere.

This is just one example why one should not open their world to strangers or trust every friend on your Facebook account will not give out your information. And we all know, Facebook gives information to the entire world.

Question: Why is it safe to trust someone with lots of Facebook posts? A good scammer or hacker will have plenty of posts. Pictures will be fake and the information will be fake.
