Hi
I know a friend of mine whose Facebook account was hijacked. Now I read this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/04/facebook_friend_in_peril_scam/
Its scary. It does not matter if you limit who can view your profile or not.

I want to share another link about a report releasing info on major companies and how vulnerable their software are for attacks. http://www.itbusinessedge.com/cm/community/news/sec/blog/ibm-report-web-apps-making-businesses-vulnerable/?cs=30239

This is truly scary. Thanks for the heads up on this. Reagan said 'Trust but Verify" so I guess the best bet here is to request a direct phone call from whoever asks for help. No need to give your phone number as the 'Friend' should no how to reach you. And if it is a case of customs agents calling ask for their name so that you can give it to the state department to get their assistance. Just a thought but each scam will be different. Trust but Verify.
