Murder For Order On Facebook

celticeagle, I believe your response here has hit it right on the nail about being mindful on who we befriend and allow access into our circle online. Even in real life, we will still find suckers for ignorance and irresponsible - only to receive a rude and brutal awakening as in this case. Let's hope that this will create the needed self awareness and sense of safety.

Important to have this self awareness and sense of safety while online.

yes, I think of that too~

kaylachan, You came up with a very legitimate and real point about protecting our children here. Of late, my concern is that parents aren't doing enough to convince their children of safety practices online. In my family, my wife and I lead by example to teach and communicate with our children which I find this lacking in parents today. So, you can see that we all have our social networking accounts, pay close attention to customizing and care with who we befriend. I find this to be really more effective.

lipstick2009, You know, with this current economy their efforts would be better off helping out the country and themselves out of the rut the government and banks have dug. Sad, but I suppose that's life here. Another misadventure on living.

nophie, To be honest, there's really nothing to be afraid as far as Facebook or other known social networking sites are concern. For one, they are tools for you to keep in touch with good friends, love ones and family members. It is the surrounding environment both online and offline, we should be concern but again, not afraid of it. We just need to ask ourselves before accepting the other party as a friend. The care given both online and offline should be equal as threats are as real as it can get. While, it is good to enjoy the euphoria, that is brought by the usage of these social networking technology.

chiwasaki, My main aim for this is to create a sense of awareness for personal safety online, it is not about scaring anyone. Social networking sites are really great sites for keeping in touch with our friends and family members. As far as being friends is concern, I believe we need to be careful who we befriend and include him/her in our friend list. The other area would be about how much disclose in our profile which will not compromise our personal safety and endanger our love ones and/or ourselves. So, be careful and safe.

mods196621, I believe we are allowed certain level of customizations that could limit access and even un-friend any undesirables in our friends list. But, it would be of no use if we do not get our hands to do it. Also, this post is just another of my reminders that we should be careful with our personal details online. And, likewise in real life should make careful decisions with who we befriend and meet.

jugsjugs, On the topic of Facebook and social networking sites, I believe men (women, as well) have been literally careless and taken things for granted as far as privacy is concerned. Actually, I am sure that you are aware that criminals nowadays are using Facebook and other popular social networking sites to source for their targets. People are being scammed and killed while children are being kidnapped and sexually abused. And, the numbers are increasing and lest we start doing something about it, I am afraid the numbers will be even astronomically scarier. I think the advancements of technology does bring about a lot of conveniences and enjoyments for all of us. But, liken to our expensive and personal things - we need to keep them under lock and key which is all about being safe and secure. So, I really hope that this post will bring another awareness and awakening.

topffer, If I may add - scary as well. I really wished that people online could be as serious as they are offline or in real life. These sites can really be our open books when we are careless and naive about security. Sometimes, I am wondering if these online games are getting into peoples' head that they forget that they only have one chance or rather one life. I just wish that this post will bring about the much needed awakening and awareness. So, do be careful and take care.

StephanieAnnC, My exact sentiments. I hope that we will remind ourselves just how dangerous it can be online and liken to real life - there's only one chance. We only get to live once. Be safe than sorry.

astroversion, Also, I would advise that we should try to reach out to our peers and love ones with this article which hopefully will create the much needed awareness to incite the necessary follow through to protect our friends, love ones and most of all, ourselves. Take care and do the necessary.

agapakia, My exact sentiments with your last part of your sentence. Facebook isn't getting worse but it will definitely not be safe for the careless and incumbent. So, let's be aware and do the very necessary to protect ourselves, for no one is going to do it for us but ourselves. Take care and be safe, always!

windking, Frankly, the deceased only wrong was his choice of his ex-wife who ordered for his murder even while in jail. Finally, someone took the job but I doubt if he/she will be paid for the job since their boss is (still) in jail. Get the picture now.
