Social Networking Identity Fraud

Hi guys

I’m not sure if any of you saw Watchdog last night, but they had a report on about social networking sites and how they are being used to target identity fraud.

Sites like Facebook and Myspace are being targeted, as people are innocently putting information on their pages that fraudsters can use to create dummy bank accounts.

So if you can be careful what information you do give out, the program advised people to not give out your date of birth, so you might want to change this on any of your profiles within World of Chat or Wocchat.com.

World of Chat is pretty safe as far as many chat rooms go, as we try our best to protect you from people like this, so please be careful with your personal details, for example telling people exactly where you live, and your surname.
