The BBB warns against sharing senior pictures on social media

It was a nice tribute to the 2020 seniors, when people began sharing their senior pictures with years and schools on social media.

The crooks and thieves are still at it!  Criminals can use that info to answer common online security questions, according to the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Armed with that personal and valuable (to them) information, the BBB says scammers can find more information about you.

BBB also warns against taking Facebook quizzes, as they can mine your answers for data about you.  They will stop at nothing to get your personal info and rip you off for every bit of money you have!

The BBB warns everyone to be aware of what you are sharing. Even if you think it’s just going to your friends, it could also be going somewhere else.

If you’ve participated in this or other recent viral personal list posts, change your passwords.  Some of those viral personal lists include all the cars you’ve owned (including makes/model years), favorite athletes, and top 10 favorite television shows.

 

Love people having fun with bots and scammers!!  This guy shows you how to tell if it’s a fake Facebook account.

 

Please be careful with what you post!
