[I am still oxox]

I posted this earlier Public service reminder we know you love your kids and grandkids. Child predators prey on these site for just such photos. Be careful what you post, I will be interested in the kick back I get on my post.

@I am still oxox.  Ive also heard scammers get the info for those phone calls to grandma needing money to get out of a bind come from what people have posted on Facebook.

I would absolutely NEVER post pictures of family on facebook. I am amazed at all of the people who do though.

I always make sure whatever I post is to be seen by friends only, and I don't friend anybody unless I know them well.

I rarely ever even take family pics.  I posted one of me and my daughter when she graduated from college, but she knows I would't bail her out.  Years ago, when she first started driving, I almost didn't believe the caller that told me she had been in a wreck.  She had only left the house a few minutes prior.  The person had to mention the Mormon Church by where she had the wreck to convince me.  It was just down the road from the house.  

You can always make your Facebook pics visible to only Friends.  Many people do that and then forget when they try to post one in a Group.  That's why I always just upload my pics to Groups rather than sharing from my Albums.

Good post and good reminder.   It is sad, though,  that there are some that need to be reminded of what should be common sense.   Also,  items monogrammed with a child's name on such things as outerwear and bookbags are not a good idea.

@spumoni99 I am talking about groups that I belong to not on their personal pages.

@I am still oxox I'm a member of a LOT of groups, all special interest, none of which would even be interested in seeing my family photos.

You should never post you are away/on vacation, etc., on Facebook either.

You will find yourself coming home to your house being robbed or worse yet, someone in your home waiting for you.

@Kachina624  Yes, this one you mentioned has been going on for a while.

in fact, I just recently read that it will get worse do to artificial intelligence a.k.a. AI because with it they can now get a sample of their voice from social media or whatever, and duplicate it to really make it sound authentic.

It's becoming hard not to be cynical of everything and everyone.
