Facebook Cop (Ezuin) - Facebook is one of the popular usages of social networking website for interaction between a group of people who share a common interest and for some Finding and making friends online. Users usually reveal personal information such as contact number, home address, date of birth, citizenship and etc which will leave themselves open to crime. For instant, this article, where a man allegedly used a fake profile to lure Ms Nona Belomesoff, 18, to an isolated bushland area and murder her. It was believed that he preyed on her using the interests openly listed her on her Facebook page.
To prevent such cases from continuing, a dedicated officer SHOULD monitor this social networking giant Facebook. Facebook can be a community building tool, but it could also negatively impact. We can do our part by restricting access to our profile. If the site allows it, it’s a good idea to limit access to your profile. Don’t allow strangers to learn everything they can about us. It’s just not safe! Also, keep private information private. Never post full name, address, phone number, full birth date, or schedule. These will make you vulnerable to identity thieves, scams, burglars, or worse.
