Be careful in adding friends on your social networking sites such as Facebook

ANd that is certainly not the only case. It is important to always be careful not as much about adding friends, but even more about giving out information about ourselves. I find that people get sidetracked in those kinds of sites - including mylot -and often form great friendships with people they never met and have no idea if they really are who they think. THey also take these kind of relationships way too seriously. They are to be taken lightly and cautiously. I dont' mind talking about things, enter some very small tidbits of information but nothing that is very personal. Heck I don't even post any personal photos anywhere in the internet as a rule. But main point is to remember that in such an anonymous environment, nothing is to be what it looks like. And a big number of people forget that.

What you just told is really happening everywhere, not only on Facebook and am glad you share it here to inform others what to avoid. I am very much aware with such kind of hidden identities and careful with it. That is why before I confirm a friend request, I would check information and photos for familiarity purposes. On the other hand, I ama bit curious with your story though. Hope you do not mind my curiousity. Anyways, why did you get on hold of your ex bf's account? He is supposed to be an ex, right? What if his new gf is aware with his identity? And perhaps they did that on purpose to continue their communication so that the gf's husband will not suspect the affair. That is my hunch, and I guess it is no longer your business to meddle with your ex's new relationship. No offense meant my friend.

Whether on social networking sites or in personal life, everyone should be careful with adding friends and giving out personal informations about ourselves or our love ones. Personality theft is really proliferating nowadays so we really need to be cautious. In my facebook account, I rarelt accept friendship invitations from strangers. I also try to minimize the informations I give away in social media networks in the web.

Yes, it's true that we should always be careful in adding friends in our FB account, that's why I always ignore the requests from people I didn't know or whose accounts are not verified or not known to me. I always ignore because I might be used for something.

Tsk Tsk Tsk. Nasty! NASTY! Using technology to do bad stuff. This is crazy. What is the world getting to? I get the scenarios where a bf has more than 1 bf and a gf has more than one bf, but having a bf while married? that's bad? Why don't she just get divorced or annulled?

Yes you are right.I have come across these problems before so i deleted long back.Mainly people are using FACEBOOK for wrong reasons.Many good things can be done in FACEBOOK but people are opting for bad thing which is not advisable.Twitter,ORKUT & Facebook are 3 different things but giving bad impression and also creating bad environment.I am not critisizing the Facebook but one should use that for constructive purpose and not for destructive purpose.Tks for the article.

hat you just told is really happening everywhere, not only on Facebook and am glad you share it here to inform others what to avoid. I am very much aware with such kind of hidden identities and careful with it. That is why before I confirm a friend request, I would check information and photos for familiarity purposes.

Hello anne, i thought you are way over this guyalready? how did you come up with this information? you have taken down his feminine facebook account? lolz wow i thought you have move on. well, you can always informed the husband about it but with not identifying yourself. but frankly, i think since you're his ex now (this may sound harsh) but i think it's none of your business for him to do this, but it's nice of you to give us warning. thank god no ones adding me in facebook anymore.

I am not into much in this facebook thing I am just wasting my time here and did not even earning. Unlike here in mylot I spend jut an hour I could earn just a cents at least I have cents. Well anyways, I only add persons if I could see that we have common friends and if just in case we have common friends that I know of. Its ok to add them. I am not communicating using facebook they could see my pictures or status but just it. No harm done. Hopefully.

Yes,when we add friends on some social networking site we should careful about them on the social site.Website on internet is a virtual world.You can not see the people on website.Maybe the person is an old man,but the person said that he was young man.A man maybe said that he was a beautiful girl.

now,many boys take the identity of girls and open accounts in the e-communiteis.We shoiul be careful about it.Otherwise they might befool us.Before adding a fried,we should make it sue that the person is of our acquintance.

I know that Facebook, Hi5, Tagged are social networking where nothingh it is how it seems.So , you have to be very carefull.

Its really hard trying to separate these fakes with making new friends, but I always go with the second option. Theres no way I would meet the nicest new people without adding them. I think the best way to find out about someone are those "feelings", we can just feel when it's someone we know. I mean I got that feeling when I added an ex long time ago, when I just asked to remind me where this girl was from school of like 12 years ago this person just disapeared, deleted the account and didn't go on. I actually asked "her" that because I knew something was wrong.

I agreed in that point, but one more thing I would like to add is securing your email addresses. As you noticed that anyone could add you by your email add. There is this case where in a man who added me in my facebook thought he was one of our relatives since he has same surname as our clan, but the mere fact is he was someone who hated our clan so much because of some land property argument he even create a Facebook account pretending he is one of us but what he did is to plot a revenge against all of us by sending us private message and tries to brain wash each other so that they would quarrel and loose their unity as relatives and we just lately knew it when the land was already sold to this guy. How did he do that? he traced all our email adds and add us one by one.

i never add stranger in facebook unless he/she is my friend's friend and do have the same interest with me.there are just a few of them that i really add based on their interest and the rest are all my friends and relatives.if i wanna make friends i will do it carefully and not just simply add them as my friend.

don't accept friend request from strangers. that's it! ^.^
