A few moments ago, I've seen one video posted in Facebook. I don't know if it is true or not but the idea of what had happened to that lady in the video really scared me.
She posted some pictures on her FB profile. Well, I can say that those are sexy pictures. With those, many added her as a friend and she accepted all of them.
And then, it was stated there that one guy asked her to go out with him. And she turned him down but because all of her personal details were posted in her profile the guy showed up in her place and then the horrible scene happened.
On my end, may this incident be true or not I would suggest that we should not disclose all our personal informations in Facebook. Aside from that, when it comes to uploading pictures we should create or follow our own guidelines on what type of pictures to upload because we don't really know what is the state of mind of all those people who would get a chance to look at your uploaded photos. I really felt sorry for that lady who lost her life if the said story had truly happened in real life.

Somthing scary like that happened to me on myspace. I had my sister who was working for me posted on my comment feed where we working that night and when we were meeting up...this guy had been repeatitvely asking me out and he saw that comment...So there's a dumpster in a dark parking lot in the back of the builiding..that's where I found him waiting for me. He demanded an answer to why I'd turned him down. He was drunk and seemingly kinda violently angry. Thankfully-the firefighter guys drove through and ran him off. From that point on-I made sure nothing was posted that could identify me personally.

Really? See...we need to be very careful in posting such informations online. It's a good thing that the firefighter arrived on time and drove that foolish guy away. You really have to review all the informations posted on any site to avoid such thing to happen again.

Lesson well learned! I don't think the guy was going to do anything rash-but you just never know! The fact he even showed up there creeped me out totally. I hollered at my sister forever and a day on why she posted where we were working that night-after all it was late at night! Duh! Sometimes she doesn't think...she does the same thing on facebook now. I worry for her sometimes!

That is very scary, but in a way she should know better. I thought most parents teach their children 'Don't talk to strangers' when they are young? Adding people you don't know on Facebook is even worse, especially if you publicly post you home address, work address, phone number, birth date, full name, and then giving them tons of pictures of yourself. Its just not safe, not only from potential stalkers, rapists, crazies, but also from identity thieves and scam artists.
I'm not saying she deserved to die, but I do hope people will learn from her mistake and be more careful with their personal information on the internet.

Certainly, no one would really want that such horrible incident would happen to anyone. But as what have been said, the incident should serve as a warning and a lesson to each one of us to be more responsible in everything that they post over the internet especially in such networking site.

I also don't post personal information such as contact numbers and very detailed physical address. It is scary and I don't want any stranger stalking or fooling me. I don't even know how some people still get my number and ask me through text to do lustful acts with them. I really hate it because they really wouldn't stop even when you are not replying to their messages.

i never did something dangerous like that. because i know the risk for doing that.
i only put my phone number in Facebook for my friends to contact me, not more than that. and i never upload any picture to my facebook. I just take pictures from my friends' photos. We should always be careful when using social sites because anyone can blackmail us by using our personal informations.

Not very wise from the lady to put all her real personal informations and add anybody who sent her a friend request, especially if she had such provocating pictures on uploaded on her profile, people should be warned, also by facebook not to be that silly and try to restrict the privacy settings to only people we can trust.

Indeed, everyone should be warned and should avoid uploading such kind of photos so that such incident can be avoided. As you have mentioned, Facebook must warn its users and the users must do their part too by creating their personal guidelines on what photos to upload.

I could never post my personal information on facebook. The only things that are on there are things that my friends already know and I do not add people that I don't know from college high school or church/camp. I have a few co-workers as well. But if I dont know the person or who they are then they are not getting added.

Yes. That is very scary. I wouldn't put my personal info out either. It's just not a good idea. People are getting scarier everyday.

Nowadays we should be realy extra- careful and don't entertain people that are totally strangers to us. Sometimes bad things happen because we entertain danger. Better to be smarter in dealing with other people. In fact, scariest part here is that if it is someone you totally know and is not a stranger to you who would do something bad to you or your family. You don't know what's the state of mind of people right now. You would even be surprised that other people are killing/ murdering their own family, relatives, friends or someone close to them.
