facebook safety tips

Protect your identity – Be careful what information you post. Many thieves use social network sites for identity theft.

Set your profile to “Private” – Change your privacy settings so that only your friends can see your profile, photos and wall posts.

Keep your location general - Never post your exact address.

Be selective with your photos - Manage photos in which you are “tagged.” You can “remove tag” on any ones you don’t will to be linked to your profile. Don’t post photos you don’t want everyone to see.

Games? – Many people play the Facebook games (Farmville, Mafia Wars, etc.) but most may not know that they are sharing their information and all of their friend’s information with the companies that makes these games.

DELETE FACEBOOK EMAIL – Many viruses are being spread as emails that look like they are coming from your Facebook friends. Many of the links in these emails will take you to an infected web page. Instead, simply delete the email and log on to facebook to read your messages or requests.
