lol, you can join the GYO part of facebook and post on there but you don't have to be 'friends' so to speak with other people, so therefore, they can't access your profile page. you can also use a screen name and not post a pic if you don't want to.

Couldn't agree more. Bookface is a great resource for identity theft.

Eek, really? How if only selected friends can see me?

I'm sure sensible people who take reasonable precautions will be fine, but try puting the 3 words "facebook identity theft" into Google.

I did just that and read the articles and as you quite rightly say, if you don't set up your account properly (to stop identify theft) and are not sensible, then yes, you could be open to it, but having said that, I am on Facebook and have a few friends, but my personal details on there are limited, and yes, even to my friends, even though my close friends know them anyway, such as name, DOB, address etc etc. Having said that, have you ever put your child in a 'free play area' for 30 mins, (sure parents know one major Swedish store who offer it) and the form you have to fill in, your name, child's name, address, Dr's adress, contact number etc etc, scary ain't it, but then I'm going off the topic of the thread.
