While I completely agree and promote your advice for those new or inexperienced with scammers I personally feel comfortable enough to identify them and address the issue should it occur. I would never urge anyone to volunteer personal information. The low risk here is that anyone wanting a friend can view MY fb profile and decide to proceed or not. I Use fb over mingle simply because my job my children and my college keep me on the go. I can use text messaging with fb to keep in touch on the go. I don't have that luxury here. My other reason for my preference is that most of these topic forums start innocent but quickly turn into rude and nasty slander. I do like coming on here to meet people but it kills the mood for me to see grown adults incapable of being civilized. I have read a lot of your posts through my time on here and admire your views on matters. I even agree with you now. Just throwing it out there that if any one is having trouble finding a chat buddy I'm eager to have some my self. I'll know the scammers.
