Not Putting Enough Information on Social Media Can Cause Problems

Not Putting Enough Information on Social Media Can Cause Problems

A few years ago when I first signed up for Facebook, I had been warned not to put any personal information on my site. Of course FB asks if you are married, in a relationship, what books and movies you like and on and on.

So when I got to the status question, I left it blank as that is an option too. Well....the very next morning when I opened my site to read posts from my friends and colleagues, I found many personal emails from men and women wanting to be "very good friends". I thought to myself "Wait a minute, why is this happening as I had heard FB was protected".

So I called my daughter who was already an expert on the site and she opened it up and told me I should have put "Married" for my status instead of leaving it blank. So she logged in, changed it for me and reported the people to FB who had left the messages. Wow, I felt like I had just dodged a bullet but truly didn't know.

So when they say "Don't put too much on your Social Media sites, a little personal information is OK. Since, I never received any of these type comments or requests. Don't make yourself a target!
