Facebook and crime

[blueangel07]

Can you believe that crimes like rapes, (etc.) are the very common and the one of the top? and dont you know that facebook is the best way to do those crimes? crimenals now are hightech. They use facebook to do their crimes.

[ankur1010]

I wont believe your statement at all. How could facebook assist criminals in crime such as rape?

I think this is one of the superficial statement made by you over here.

[diplomatwhizz]

Most cases of rape, criminals are fond of watching pornography. There are cases also that several people watching pornography online aroused goes to facebook to find a victim. A bit advise to everyone that not to trust strangers.

[ankur1010]

This is again something that is very hard for me to believe. I agree that do not believe on strangers. But people use FB to find victim is something which surely I wont believe at all.

[blueangel07]

Ankur, are you a filipino? i guess your not. Because if you are, surely you already watch it on news. I'll give you one news. A actor/Director almost died in his own apartment (He is a gay) he meet a guy thru facebook and that guy almost kill him. That guy stabbed him thank to God he survive.

[diplomatwhizz]

Yes ankur, everything exists now. Facebook become a way to find a victim. I would like to second the motion of blueangel that an actor/director here in philippines almost to die after stabbed several times

[pinoycity]

I think, in this case, Facebook is not to be blamed. Users are the one responsible for all their actions and we should not really be trusting. I think, it is OK to be friendly with people but meeting them in person needs to be planned carefully. I mean, you should really be sure that you will be safe before agreeing to something like an eye-ball.

[blueangel07]

The point is, crimenals find their way to do their crimes thru facebook. And thats not imposible now adays, since there are people who trust people whom they dont know, as easy as one click.

[iamsuperchen]

I think nowadays social networking site like Facebook can do such any crime. Have you heard about cyber crime? It is spreading throughout the internet. And I won't even surprised that crimes can be sometimes present in Facebook though I haven't really encountered like that. And one thing for sure that the disadvantage of the new feature which is the Facebook chatting using web cameras can be probably make a crime. That's only my point of view.

[blueangel07]

Iamsuperchen.. I already heard about that, i do agree with you that its not impossible to know that in facebook cyber crimes are presents. Specialy now that facebook has video chat, its so easy to do things such as cyber sex.

[iamsuperchen]

Facebook are now prone to these cyber crimes. They are upgrading new features that will tend to do such crimes. I have attended a seminar about Cyber Crime that's why I have an idea of the probability of Facebook as means for crimes and even degrading one's reputation. Innocent children must not be the victim of these crime. They are too young to be involved in such circumstances. :(

[diplomatwhizz]

Wow, topic discussion is getting hot.

In my opinion facebook is not to be blame. As you watched the movie social network Mark just accidentally invented facebook because of getting busted from a chick. Facebook, its real purpose is to stay connected with people and our loved ones. As I have said on my previous threads, every thing has good side and bad side. Bad side of social networking sites is that stupid people or individual use this way to find a victim and now facebook is ruined and blamed. We are the responsible enough in how we deal with the people whom we arte talking into, in any social networking sites.

[blueangel07]

We're not blaming facebook, and no one is blaming facebook for all the bad things. What are we pointing out is those people who use facebook to do their crimes. And we all know that there are underage who use facebook, that might be a victem of those crimes.

[iamsuperchen]

Yeah. We are not accusing the Facebook on what has happening nowadays.We are just emphasizing that by using Facebook there would be a tendency that the crime will arise from this social network. It is the evil people who use Facebook as their means of targeting victims. We are just concerned to those children that are too young who uses Facebook. Someday you'll never get surprised this will gonna happen.

[blueangel07]

Iamsuperchen. So agree with you mate. Thats why parents should be strict and give a time rules, when using social sites. Its very unsafe to teenagers if they find out those things.

[Witmahart]

Every social networking site have active criminals that use it. Some expert point the violence now in most countries from the use of facebook, where activist use it to encourage members. Do you read crime watch?. There is a lot that is happening that require individual to becareful with their online information. Yes you can't blame facebook, but you must study information security to protect your online detail or information .t is happening that require individual to becareful with their online information. Yes you can't blame facebook, but you must study information security to protect your online detail or information .

[blueangel07]

I do agree with you mate, i think its a commonsense that we should becareful when it comes to our information in socialsites. Thats why provide us and give us the choice to private our accounts or not.

[nadsQueen10]

I'm a little bit agree on what you had said. Facebook at some point can do a crime. I remember a news I watched on television, a guy is requesting to the girl to take a nude picture and send it to him, the girl did that. After few days, the guy requested again to the girl to have sex with him or else, the nude pictures of the girl will post him on Facebook. So the girl agree, poor girl.. the guy abused the girl.

Because of what you said, I am now threaten to post every information about myself. I mean even if you're going on private somebody will gonna take your information. It still probable to happen. No one knows, just what hackers did, even password they can take it away from your account. :(

[cloud99]

they are a ton swindler on facebook. usually they sell low price and high class product to attract buyer. because the price is cheap the buyer want to fast buy it. and if the buyer not carafull they will lose theit money because seller from begining not intend to sell a product, but to defeice a people. so wes must carefull if we meet swindler like that.

thats very alarming mate, what did that guy promise to the poor girl to the point that the girl gave him a nude picture. That crime is clearly a rape.

Yeah, we should really be careful with our trades. I have done some transactions in Facebook but I will always insist that we meet personally to do the final transaction. But you should also be careful when meeting someone personally.

[diplomatwhizz]

So compiling our opinions and replies to this thread we can come up with conclusion that criminals exists on facebook and any other social networking sites. Thus, they use the sites for them to do the crime they inteded to.

[iamsuperchen]

We should be more careful that meeting sellers or buyers in a strange place. Because we might not know the real intentions of the strange person we meet. I have tried to buy a clothe from a seller in Facebook. But before I ordered, I tried to get information of the seller and its previous experience in handling customer. But I really prefer those sellers that are rich. But if you're not feel comfortable with meeting other strange people you should have a buddy with you when meeting a unknown person in order to be safe. And another thing, try to meet in a place where there were many people around you in case of emergency like meeting in malls.

[diplomatwhizz]

iamsuperchen,
Exactly! Do not agree on a meeting place that have a rare by-standers.
These by-standers can help save us in times we met a trouble with the one we meet up. Do not meet them also alone, be sure to have a friend with you who can accompany you and can help you in times of trouble. Thus allow or pls make your family and friends aware who you are going to meet and where and time.

[iamsuperchen]

Yeah. I do not trust people also. It is really better to have a friend with you when meeting strangers. No one can detect their intention by mere looking at there looks whether they dress up like a professional. This is really happening nowadays because of free marketing in Facebook!

[reyah]

Aside from meeting someone in a crowded place. I also suggest that bring some friends when you meeting someone that you have have met or buying something in fb. Have a look-out for yourself if possible because that someone also have an accomplish if they have some evil plan.

[nadsQueen10]

I agree with that. Always bring your companion to be more secured. Because sometimes they got more interested to you because you are unaccompanied by someone.

[learvy]

i have seen this kind of stories in the news, those people who are looking for love and money are the most victim of it. they can easily give trust to someone they don't really know or in just a simple conversation. maybe we must make the teens aware. meeting strangers from it is not a good thing at all.

yeah, in my country there are lot incident like that, junior/senior high school student have been raped by stranger they meet on facebook, but the worst there is an incident that victim lost for 1 week and ended up the victim has been killed and the body has been mutilated

[ankur1010]

Guys and gals had to keep in mind that stangers can be of any mentality, they should not trust the strangers blindly and just go to meet them. People need to be take utmost precaution while going for such meeting to strangers. We can not blame only facebook for this. As it is not anywhere mention that FB is for good people only.

[diplomatwhizz]

We should always go back and do what our parents taught us, that is never talk/trust a stranger.
Give them an oiption for you to meet near on a police station and if that plead to disagree then try to cancel the transaction. This can be use in the case that no one available to accompany you.

[luke1]

If we think wide, we can not blame FaceBook at all. Bad people is around us, and every people can be bad. Then, if we think by the logic, people can use anything to be bad. Don't say Facebook, if People want, People can harm other by using the Holy Books (no matter what religion), for example, hitting the People by using the Holy Books.

So, we better be careful and put our selves safe in using Facebook. Do not ever blame on Facebook!! :o

[diplomatwhizz]

Because of what you said, I am now threaten to post every information about myself. I mean even if you're going on private somebody will gonna take your information. It still probable to happen. No one knows, just what hackers did, even password they can take it away from your account. :(

Would like to share my hacking experience.
I was out of the home and only check fb via phone suddenly I failed to access it. I got paranoid because there are important information on my account. Thank God I recovered it. The next day again it was hacked, thrice to be exact, Now I only choose what information to provide just to be safe.

[blueangel07]

The topic is so hot! speaking about the rape case and meeting a person whom you just know via facebook. Its better not to meet someone you dont know, and if you cant avoid it. Make sure you will meet that person in public place and never ever go with that person in a place you dont know.

You are a Filipino right? Have you seen or heard the news last friday I guess. A woman was raped and battered by the man whome\ h\she just met on facebook. worst isn't it?

[blueangel07]

Yup! i am a filipino... And yes i heard that news on t.v. And thats a lesson for every one, not to trust someone whom you do not know. Or you might just be like that girl. I guess that girl is only 15 years of age.

[diplomatwhizz]

yup she is a minor. it has been another cased filed. but i think most of the same kind will not still learn from the incident if it they don't experience it.

[nadsQueen10]

Oh, I didn't heard that news on television, maybe I'm on school or I'm busy using my laptop. That's strange and I feel so sad about the victim :( We really need not to trust someone especially if we don't know them well.

[iamsuperchen]

What information does your profile has? I mean the information that can be seen by hackers? I am really threaten about spreading information on Facebook because of what you said earlier. I'm gonna try to fix the information not too informative and can be taken away by any hackers. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[cutiekc]

I wouldn't have accept what you said about the rape but as the cases may be i do say that yes it is posible that facebook can contribute to rape crimes since i now see some nude pics on facebook maybe after being watched by a criminal he might get sexually urge and therefor go into raping any near by.

[primitiva19]

you should just be careful in everything you post in your account, hackers don't just view your information, they also view to whom you are close and the date where you and your partner starts to be ON, they view so much ways to hack an account. so batter not to use a pass word that related to you.

[ankur1010]

Yeah, we should really be careful with our trades. I have done some transactions in Facebook but I will always insist that we meet personally to do the final transaction. But you should also be careful when meeting someone personally.

As far as online transaction is concerned, all need to keep in mind one thing that whenever there is a secure transaction you all will appear one lock sign in the status bar of your explorer. This ensures that the transaction is safe. So please look out for that lock sign before making any transaction.

that's a very useful information you shared to us ankur. now i will use that lock sign and though i always make sure that all of my transactions are safe, still i will fallow that lock sign to be more safer. now a days its hard to know that your safe or not, so better to do anything that makes me feel safe.

[Actionman15]

Thanks for useful information, Sir Ankur! With regards to hackers, Just don't put any nude photos of you in your facebook account and also add only those people that you know. With the transaction, just don't meet anybody in person. Online transaction is much safer,provided that the transaction is secured. Here in the Philippines, we have rape cases because of facebook. But probably, it is the fault of the user not the facebook itself.

[markiy071384]

I think rape and other criminals are not done in facebook. Facebook was only used to do and trigger some crime. Like for example, when one user set time to meet to their friends in facebook.Not all added friends in facebook really friends.When the two meet the guy will take advantage to the girl.

Yup! I agree on what you've said. Crime is not happening on facebook and also it is the keen responsibility of the users to be cautious on what actions or decisions they are about to take. The crime itself happens when you do transactions to people you don't even know at all. For example, doing online business transactions with people you don't even know personally, this is a very risky one, why? Business transactions should be done personally,as much as possible. If not possible, then do the transaction with people whom you know can be trusted and also look for a lock sign to be safe before pursuing the transaction as said by Sir Ankur. Another transaction example, the zynga poker game, trading your poker chips to real money can be possible but then make sure you know whom to trust. With regards to rape/ gang rape cases, it happens when they do meet people whom they don't know very well. Think wisely before you act. Don't trust everyone! Trust those people you've known for years and of course you've known personally!

[blueangel07]

Another crime that face book is involve, and its really devastating to know, that because to much jealuse by a comment of a friend, that leads to a murder. A young teen ager just kild his partner, and both of them are now in a cold four corner of a room that has no door.

[Actionman15]

What a sad story you have there. That person is totally insane. Jealousy is always a killer. Jealousy is the root cause of broken relationship. But then, it is just a comment on Facebook. Wonder what is going through his/her mind while doing it. Sometimes little things causes big effects.

[blueangel07]

it was a sad story and also a story that we can learn from it. that every one should be responsible in every word they're going to post in or messages they sent to some one who's already taken. most of the times face book is one of the reasons why partners or husband and wife commit something they don't usually do. and we can never blame face book for that scenarios, because we do choose things or decide, not realized, what may be the consequences are.

[grecy095]

Can you believe that crimes like rapes, (etc.) are the very common and the one of the top? and dont you know that facebook is the best way to do those crimes? crimenals now are hightech. They use facebook to do their crimes.

I believe no one is being raped when they do not trust stranger. if someone do not entertain stranger and do not believe in everything they say, no one will be a victims of this crime. I hope people, especially young girls learned from other experience.

[cutiekc]

Another crime of facebook which is on board now is facebook is now filled up with many nude picture which isn't good most at times i do got to see many ladies profile picture being naked which isn't good.

[tirus]

People do use facebook as a tool to assist in the commission of crime. Its easy(for some people) to accept a stranger as a friend on their account and start communicating regularly. Some people become naive enough to think that after a few weeks of communicating on facebook you can trust someone.

This is where people become vulnerable and agree to meet these "new friends" personally without taking precautions or get into deals without thoroughly thinking about them.

[Depisit]

You will always expect that from any social network making waves like facebook,my advise has always been to avoid giving out your personal details to stranger and been careful with the kind of discussions you make with people you dont realy know that much,,crime can be minimised with all these preventive measures

[redamethyst]

Most cases of rape, criminals are fond of watching pornography. There are cases also that several people watching pornography online aroused goes to facebook to find a victim. A bit advise to everyone that not to trust strangers.

That advise is useful, don't trust strangers. Be careful in meeting up with people that you don't personally know because it is up to you whether you want to be a victim or not. Its just that facebook is so popular nowadays that they would blame it on facebook because victims would say they meet it online, they chatted on facebook, etc but they were not careful in dealing with them. Not all people is good, remember there are a lot of predators out there.

You will always expect that from any social network making waves like facebook,my advise has always been to avoid giving out your personal details to stranger and been careful with the kind of discussions you make with people you dont realy know that much,,crime can be minimised with all these preventive measures

indeed, it is a constant reminder for every social networking users/members, never ever use your real information and never trust anyone you just met through a social site. criminals are all over you can never predict if that person is good or bad base on his physical look, and you'll never know maybe that person is not using his own picture.

[redamethyst]

Ankur, are you a filipino? i guess your not. Because if you are, surely you already watch it on news. I'll give you one news. A actor/Director almost died in his own apartment (He is a gay) he meet a guy thru facebook and that guy almost kill him. That guy stabbed him thank to God he survive.

I don't know if we would be talking about the same personality but there is this one showbiz personality where in he met the same kind of incident but he didn't meet the guy thru facebook, he have actually just picked up him somewhere but since that incident happened they just told the media that he met the guy on facebook to prevent further questions as this will cause him a lot. I actually got that info directly from his friend, he was telling us about it even before it in the news.

[Actionman15]

I believe no one is being raped when they do not trust stranger. if someone do not entertain stranger and do not believe in everything they say, no one will be a victims of this crime. I hope people, especially young girls learned from other experience.

Yup, I think that the fault for being rape is on the those girls entertaining those unfamiliar people. Learning from others mistakes will be better than learning from your own mistakes. That's why we should be aware of any news regarding rape cases and other crime cases online.

[Syrine22]

I think the poster is right to some extent but really it's not only on FB that all this acts of undecency is commited.people might be watching pornography pictures on FB but really FB cannot be held for their unlawful act.

[blueangel07]

its alarming to know that now face book become a tool for doing crimes. crimes that can happen even without face book but as what i observe they use face book for much easier access for doing a crime against some one innocent and their favorite victims are teens for they now teens are the easy one to take with just sweet word and promises

[imcath03]

Teens are not matured enough to act carefully and wisely. They can be easily convinced by those who want to do something bad to them. They believe on what they are saying. Not only that they are updating where they are exactly on facebook. So the suspect knew already where to hunt the target.

[blueangel07]

exactly! that is why teens are their favorite victims and most of the time they will block mail the teen for them to be sure that their victims will be their slave and do what every they wish. poor teens, pity on them and parents should watch for their children and they should be updated to whats going on with their child's in that way in that way it may prevent that a teens will just go with some one they don't know.

[imcath03]

yes, parent's should guide their child in everything they do. So that they will blame no one if something bad happened to their sons/daughters. If they are watchful enough and concern these problem will be prevented.

[tirus]

That is why some parents dont allow their children on social networking sites because they can easily become vulnerable. Some teens are looking for attention and having someone who seemingly likes them and gives them that attention makes them even more vulnerable.

The "dont talk to strangers" policy seems to fall away when it comes to social networking sites like facebook and that is the biggest problem. Tread careful both on and offline you would reduce this.

[imcath03]

Teens release their boredom on facebook. Not only that they also sticked to facebook when they have problems that they can't tell to their parents. Parents are too busy to check what their child is posting or updating on facebook.

[pinoycity]

But it is very difficult to eliminate social networking sites from the teens. Not at these times when Facebook and other social networking sites are the norm of normal lives. Not when even senior citizens are also getting addicted to FB and other sites.

[grecy095]

If only the parents could not allow their children especially the minor ones to use Facebook, it should be avoided. Facebook allow all users online to use FAcebook, they are not into protecting them actually. They are into the number of users using Facebook. Parents should be responsible for their children and they should screen everything their kids done online.

[raskystan]

Well it does happen buh sometimes last year a drug-dealer was caught with the help of facebook maybe via the inbox chattings buh since then nothing has ever happened again whereas the illegal business is still on

[grecy095]

Can Facebook able to help police and authorities on solving the crimes. I think they can help for giving history of the content of someones profile that is involved with the crime. But on other private messages like on inbox, can they really help provide information? Or they allow investigator to use the private settings to reveal something to make the crime solved?

[imcath03]

Facebook can give some evidences but it is not enought to solve any crime. Maybe they can see the post of the victim or the suspect then they will rely on that as the reason why the incident happened. Just only that and nothing more.

[tirus]

Can Facebook able to help police and authorities on solving the crimes. I think they can help for giving history of the content of someones profile that is involved with the crime. But on other private messages like on inbox, can they really help provide information? Or they allow investigator to use the private settings to reveal something to make the crime solved?

I believe law enforcement agencies can subpoena facebook or any social networking site for information if they believe it can assist them in resolving criminal cases. Facebook can then provide access to your account wall posts and messages for example.

It is not as easy as that though as facebook virtually opposes subpoenas as it has a duty to protect a user's privacy and against disclosure.

[grecy095]

Yes that is the big problem @tirus, if they opposed the subpoenas, if they will not coordinate with authorities. Police will not use Facebook as part of investigation when they know it shouldn't have. They believe there is something inside a chat or the message or even on photos that give them big help to solve the crime. Like finding the face of the suspect.

[redamethyst]

If the investigators can access the account of the victim, I think it would be helpful for the case, they can check the private messages of the victim, and see what messages were exchanged with the suspect then I think that would be very helpful. But getting to facebook directly, I think that would not facebook's liability.

[imcath03]

yes, if they open the victim's account. But what if not, it doesnt help either. Only the posts on the wall will help somehow. But not to solve the crime completely. Facebook will only give ideas why such things happen.

[grecy095]

Facebook can connect ideas on how the crimes started or the purpose of crime. Like the case of the young 14 year old who shot his ex-boyfriend, he is a gay actually, at some malls. There are other side of the story that these two males have been shot and not the 14 year old shot the other 16 year old male. But on the former's facebook it clearly explains that he plans for it. It helps in giving ideas.

[imcath03]

He seems depressed based on his post. He also gives us idea why he do that crime. It is a love triangle i think. Facebook just let us know why the incident occured. But it can't solve the problem. Just to give or share evidences, that's it.

[redamethyst]

In that case of being depressed, the family and friends should have supported the guy. I mean if they are able to read the posts and status of the guy then they should have done something to prevent that from happening. Aside from that, if the communication is open within the family then this crime would not be committed.

[Depisit]

It all narrows down to ignorance,i quite believe you guys on the issue of teens being reckless with the way they associate and behave but it cant be on them alone because even the so called adults sometimes fall prey to some of these 'scandalous' activities

[tirus]

it may be ignorance for some people althoug i would like to believe it all boils down to education. social media websites are used by everyone who has access to the net. most dont even know the pitfalls and are gunning to have as many friends as possible as if its a popularity contest and they will accept and communicate with anyone just to be seen as popular.

[blappy]

That's people behavior even in their rel life that is how they live their life just same with online they think of crime or anything that may cause harm to others, Facebook can't do about this in the first place they accept those and there is no way for them to know what kind of person is that.

[nadsQueen10]

Nowadays, the teenagers are very different compared to the teens before. There are many inventions created and some of them are intended to use for bad purpose. Many sites (not only Facebook) can involve in different crimes. There many hackers also so we need to be more careful.

[blappy]

People now is very different than before so, there's a lot of crime that happenings around even in cyber world like this facebook it's just a tool for those people for those hackers, and crime.

[imcath03]

You said it right, very different. Even teenagers can commit any crime right now. They are not afraid of killing anyone. They are not also afraid of killing themself. Because of high techonolgy we have right now, crimes and break ups are also made online. It depends on us if we are going to the flow of this world or go against it.

[tirus]

Its just unfortunate that the world has come to this. The more we advance in terms of technology is the more opportunities for criminals and scammers to infiltrate society and propel their underhanded activities. If criminals are going high tech then law enforcement should be even more equipped and work closely with online service providers to curb this.

[grecy095]

I don't understand why minors are very confident of doing crime. I got to wonder, what make them push themselves to it. I have a feeling that some of the parents are not into their children. Our life is fast pace and some are depended on internet and online jobs that they forget about their real responsibilities. It gives me creeps that some of the crime involved minors and they are confident to let their heartache be read by anyone at Facebook.

[sumity90]

i dont know about this kind of stuff ,and never heard this things i only seen this in television and movies that if some one making fool to another they that person want revenge and heart others ,i only heard about facebook love story.....
some people also using facebook for revenge purpose ....but that is not good thing...

[Dabchi]

I have never heard about this facebook crime before and what type of crime it is.
Well i believe in every organization there must be some bad guys among them.

[grecy095]

Yes, in every white flowers there are thorns and it hurts that even in the most popular social network site there are crimes. I think it is not crime that is inside it, but users are sharing crime of passion there just like what happened to the two boys I stated before. They show in public how much they love a person and unfortunately it turned out to be a crime.

[vkhu]

I wont believe your statement at all. How could facebook assist criminals in crime such as rape?

I think this is one of the superficial statement made by you over here.
You should try to catch up with the new buddy. On Facebook, you can pretty much adopt any identity you want and then sweet talk people, convincing them to go meet you just so they can be raped.

[arianikalbu]

they are a ton swindler on facebook. usually they sell low price and high class product to attract buyer. because the price is cheap the buyer want to fast buy it. and if the buyer not carafull they will lose theit money because seller from begining not intend to sell a product, but to defeice a people. so wes must carefull if we meet swindler like that.

[imcath03]

There are so many illegal things that can be done online. Since we are not able to see them personally, we are just swayed because of money and they say something taht is really convincing. No crime will be committed if we users don't allow it .

[Dali]

I wont believe your statement at all. How could facebook assist criminals in crime such as rape?

I think this is one of the superficial statement made by you over here.

Hello,

I guess blueangel07 means that criminals would use Facebook to get information about a person. Most people would post details about their everyday activities there. Recently I've seen a story on the news about a guy that met a girl online and he became obsessed with her. He stalked her and police couldn't do anything about it.
For example you posting that next week you'll be on vacation in Mexico staying at one of your favorite hotel chains. I'm assuming that you've mentioned somewhere what is your favorite hotel chain and that someone with criminal intent would search for that information, know that you're going to be there next week and there we go.. you can be found. Horrible thought! :mad:

[hilman11]

oh my god ....
facebook now turned criminal ...
and I do not like it ...
I really hate it ....
huh ...

[blappy]

No, Facebook doesn't turn into criminal.. it's the user who has some bad intention or dirty minds that using facebook for their own interest it's not facebook but the user.. well, we can't do any thing about cos that is their behavior whether offline and online, that is how they live their llves.

[cutiekc]

I think it is time for facebook to react to this because most crime that are being done like kiddnapping criminals do know that if they use their cell phone to make call or send sms on detail of their planing they might get cut so they do use facebook inbox.

[BlackDestroyer]

I wont believe your statement at all. How could facebook assist criminals in crime such as rape?

I think this is one of the superficial statement made by you over here.It could happen " Facebook assist the criminals". Perpetrators could spy his potential victim from facebook ( Correct Me If I Wrong )

[cutiekc]

Yeah you got it all,but let me break it down in a more simple way.now if a gang of rapiest wanna rape a lady and they needs to get here picture but maybe wasn't successful it getting it,once they go to facebook they can then easily download her pics.and this how facebook helps crime.

[BlackDestroyer]

Yeah you got it all,but let me break it down in a more simple way.now if a gang of rapiest wanna rape a lady and they needs to get here picture but maybe wasn't successful it getting it,once they go to facebook they can then easily download her pics.and this how facebook helps crime.That's right. That's what I meant. So, for user girls of facebook, be careful to get friend on facebook. If anyone ask you to get meet, i do suggest you REJECT IT

[cutiekc]

Yeah thats right but due to the nature of girls ,i mean not all but few of them do love money so the can be attracted if the gangster pretends to be rich,which isn't true.well hence it is a social networking site that have a big range of users everything is possible to happen.

[Dabchi]

Yah! Crime is always a usual thing with all social networking sites,even scamming is even easier on social.A guy can even creat an account using a females Gender and pictures Just to get at Fellow guys Pocket.
Well coming to facebook crime i've ones experienced that from a Fellow guy....but i didn't fall for it.

[grecy095]

How sad that people use a good nature of Facebook, the most popular social networking site. It seems these people are making its reputation dirty because some crimes started at Facebook. I think this will not stop until some people will not stop trusting strangers.

[xecutioner]

Facebook itself isn't designed for such crimes. it's just the nature of the users how well the site is used. Yes, there are certain cases of rape and scams but that doesn't mean it's facebook that's working behind backs. It's the user's responsibility to have a sense of doubt on strangers they never met, not to mention people tend to have friends w/c they do not even know personally. yes, that would be the case. it increases the chances of facebook being used for such crimes.

[Dabchi]

Welll as for me,i think it doesn't really need any trust in anybody like.cos sometimes they will come uo with something that will attract you to them,like a had a friend on facebook,that always send links to people telling them that they can make money on facebook into Millions,that they will register with #5000,but i know he is a Scaommer.

[xecutioner]

@Dabchi --there are many forms of scams out there. good thing you doubted at first. but it's not that hard to search for proofs and infos about a certain program considering you found it on a social networking site like facebook.

[Loader]

Wait? How can you use facebook to use rape on other people. Isn't it viral? I do not get how you can rape other people using facebook. You chat to people, sure, but how do you rape people with it? Care to explain please? I just do not believe it.

[grecy095]

Wait? How can you use facebook to use rape on other people. Isn't it viral? I do not get how you can rape other people using facebook. You chat to people, sure, but how do you rape people with it? Care to explain please? I just do not believe it.

No of course not, that is not like that. Raping will happen when the meet, not inside Facebook, there is nothing likethat. Like a stranger and a girl became friends, they wish to meet in person and if the stranger is a rapist he will just simple force the girl, rape her in some place. Facebook is the bridge for that rapists to meet his victims.

[Dabchi]

Well Grecy,i do not so much buy to that raping of a thing,cos for the two friends to have decide to meet each other in Real life,the both must have known each other well for long and for the giirl to agree in that its never an easy task for the guy,unless you will be talking about multiple Guys coming against the girl same time when the two parties meet.Cos i myself have experienced meeting my facebook friends in a Couple of occasions and it went real smooth and no Troubles.

[hilman11]

they are a ton swindler on facebook. usually they sell low price and high class product to attract buyer. because the price is cheap the buyer want to fast buy it. and if the buyer not carafull they will lose theit money because seller from begining not intend to sell a product, but to defeice a people. so wes must carefull if we meet swindler like that.

[cutiekc]

Yeah even in exculsion of the rap crime facebook still play some other roles in helping some fake online marketers to easily scam us due to facebook is a really great tools for advertising our product and services,so fake advertisers always play their crime role to.

[Dabchi]

Yeah,that's the most easiest way they can scam people through the facebook media.They will always come up with some very needed products,posing as they are the Company that produce a so called product and will tend that they are on Promotion Period so as to get us attracted by the Low Price.

[cutiekc]

Yeah and most of them do add a kind of bonus to those that will buy first this products that why i no more take any thing or common or local advertisment on facebook so use full becaus they are full of crimes and rule breakers.

[grecy095]

Well Grecy,i do not so much buy to that raping of a thing,cos for the two friends to have decide to meet each other in Real life,the both must have known each other well for long and for the giirl to agree in that its never an easy task for the guy,unless you will be talking about multiple Guys coming against the girl same time when the two parties meet.Cos i myself have experienced meeting my facebook friends in a Couple of occasions and it went real smooth and no Troubles.

Yes, but that is in different case with others. Like if one old guy will meet a young girl that is for sure the parents of the girl do not know anything regarding the meeting, this old guy will take advantage of the weakness of the girl and the crime will happen. It goes in different sense. Even if the weak do not want to do it, she will be forced by either hurting her just to make the crime happen.

[xecutioner]

errmm, i've seen some of these crimes on tv related to facebook. and most cases really are rape. unfortunately some are to be considered gang rapes, and they're happening all over the place. I do suggest for facebook users specially young ladies to criticize and take precautions upon meeting up with strangers they never met. honestly i've been involved in meeting up activities from a group in facebook, but it's a game related activity so it's not that of a big deal. you'll just have to pick your online friends right

[cutiekc]

hehe.you got a good instance,but if your instance to come to reality then any girl that fall a victim of such must be insane because the old guy isn't talking to here face to face but just on facebook ,she can just easily unfriend him if she isn't comfortable with the old guy.

[grecy095]

hehe.you got a good instance,but if your instance to come to reality then any girl that fall a victim of such must be insane because the old guy isn't talking to here face to face but just on facebook ,she can just easily unfriend him if she isn't comfortable with the old guy.

But what I am talking about is the situation when this girl, young girl will go on the date with that old guy. If you agree to meet with stranger you have to face the consenquences that not all stranger are good people. Facebook is just a place that they meet online, became friends and if they choose to meet in person that is on them, crimes happen when they meet in person and not because they are online at Facebook.

[Dabchi]

Well grecy that's truth anyways,but if am to be a girl,i don't think i would have anything doing with some Old guys that might surposed to be a father to me,i think that always happen to the ladies who are insecured and they always look upto guys for Money and will end up going for old guys who can give them money at anytime.

[vkhu]

Nice advice and all but just how are you gonna pick your online buddy? For all you know, that sweet, sensitive young boy you have just met in that chat room could be an old ugly pedophile guy.

[Alejandro]

many guys love creating a fake profiles of girls to attract other guys to spend alot of money by charging their mobiles it's a shit thing :S

[grecy095]

Well grecy that's truth anyways,but if am to be a girl,i don't think i would have anything doing with some Old guys that might surposed to be a father to me,i think that always happen to the ladies who are insecured and they always look upto guys for Money and will end up going for old guys who can give them money at anytime.

Yes there are some but we cannot blame them, as some of them are getting attentions that they wanted on different people. If they found it on some stranger then they will go for it, the sad part is some of them became a victim of a crime. We should always remember to do not trust stranger or use our instinct.

[Dabchi]

That's it grecy to me i do not trust anyone on facebook even i myself i don't pose myself to be trusted cause in online relationship each of the parties will always like to please each other where as what they show off is not their real personality.

[zamalix]

i THINK FACEBOOK LIKE ANY PLACE ALL PEOPLE meeting each other there and anyone wanna do some thing bad he will do it in Facebook , at Home and in street he didn't care about the place he only care to do what he want !!

[donjaz1]

WELL TO ME I DON'T BELIEVE AND I DO NOT DISBELIEVE.I STAND IN BETWEEN BECAUSE FACEBOOK IS ONE OF THE PLACE WHERE EASY INTERACTION WAS MADE,WHERE BY PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO ADD AS MUCH FRIENDS HAS HE OR SHE LIKE.FRAUDERS ALSO INPROVE THERE BRAIN EVERY DAY CAUSE DESPITE WE ARE AWARE OF THEM SOME ARE STILL MUMUCIOUS AND EASY TO TRACK DOWN WITH THERE FAKE IMAGE AND ACCOUNT OPEN IN FACEBOOK.

[jvdologuin]

That's the very reason why people or facebook users really need and have to be responsible on what they post on FB..they have to take full responsibility of what they are posting...because no one could ever be blamed on whatever happens to anyone, because they are not careful of doing such postings..that's why their lives usually put on the risk...So, reminder to all the people:, "THINK FIRST BEFORE YOU CLICK"....

[kyriousrobert]

Can you believe that crimes like rapes, (etc.) are the very common and the one of the top? and dont you know that facebook is the best way to do those crimes? crimenals now are hightech. They use facebook to do their crimes.
facebook is an open venue with more than 500 million users and only few facebook workers monitoring members activities,you really can't tell if who;s the bad guy among us it's like a county you must be proven guilty

[Dabchi]

And with such number of people using facebook under reduced number of facebook staffs,I think crime is something inevitable and would be very hard to avoid it.But i think all we have to do is to be vigilant as much so that we won't be a victim and even as we use facebook we should be mindful of crimes suspects and report them anytime anyday.

[blueangel07]

its true that face book has a few staff, but it is still depends in every individual to be aware of the people that their going to add on their account, we all know that their will be no victims online if they only use their mind before the call of their social things... every people, user of face book should not trust any one whom they don't know for face book is not liable in anything they do and what may happen to them.

[Dabchi]

Yes that's what we have to do been vigilant to give ourselves a self measure security because it won't be all facebook fault if eventually we get into the crime suspects hands.It is better to have our eyes sharpened and always bear in mind that they are everywhere while dealing on our facebook accounts.

[tirus]

Some people do appear to be friendly on facebook and could make one feel like they can trust them completely. Fact of the matter is if you can never truly know a person and its even harder on facebook since people it makes it easy for us to deceive one another.

[internetgoodies]

Well no matter how secured a website is,some people will still engage them self in criminal activities.facebook is a very large social network website where different kinds of people meet on a daily bases,and these has created a way for people to engage them self in crime while meeting other people.you as an individual must also be at alart to know when some one is tricking you.facebook has done their part to tighting their security,so therefore,you as an individual should also secure your self.

Then wouldnt you agree that as an extension of their security measures there should at least be more awareness created so people know how to conduct themselves online? You are right facebook is huge and popular. Some first time internet users start on facebook and may not realise the dangers or necessary precautions.

you are right.some people are just new to the internet world and most of them do create facebook account for a start.most of them would want to add more and more friends without considering whether this person is genuine or not.as a result of this,they would end up adding and accepting criminals as friends.facebook is not responsible for any thing that happened to you through their platform.they have provided their own security,so you have to be extra careful.

[todnih]

Actually many people that started using facebook will do a lot of adding because of excitement,they will keep on adding someone even if they don't know them personally, I also experienced that when i first use facebook.

[tirus]

And that is the point really, no one can blame facebook because you met someone who eventually scammed you or done some sort of crime against you. Unfortunately for teens, adding as many friends as possible is a popularity contest and they dont think of the consequences.

[internetgoodies]

for sure,adding and accepting more friends is like a competition among teens.they do it to gain popularities but what is the use of having friends you don't communicate with.the victims that usually get scamed more is the ladies.the ladies are soft hearted person and they easilly fall for such criminal act.facebook is not to be blaimed for any insurity on members ignorance.

[jvdologuin]

That's the very reason why we need and have to be responsible in every postings we're about to make, because if we didn't, we're just attracting criminals to get on us..So, avoid (as much as possible) posting and giving out information which makes you regret later on in doing so..let's all be wise, aware and careful especially when people whom you don't even know will make and request friends with you on face book...

posting and sending of friends request is a normal thing.your security is not determined by how many post you make or how many friends request you would accept in a day,your security is determined by how careful you are when accepting friends,giving out of information to those you don't know.so don't just accept any kind of friends request just because the face of the person that send the request is female or an handsome dude.

[lim928]

I wont believe your statement at all. How could facebook assist criminals in crime such as rape?

I think this is one of the superficial statement made by you over here.

You may don't believe, but there's many kind of facebook crime in my country just like rape and the other crime, just watch your tv news bro...

[redamethyst]

^facebook is not responsible for this because even at other sites, it can be social networking site, forum site or chat site, or any sites that gives the chance to interact with the members crimes can happen. there are a lot of people out there who are looking for prey and they are not limited to facebook so it all depends on the user if he/she wants to be a victim or not.

[pinoycity]

Yeah, Facebook could not be responsible to these crimes. It will always boil down to members acts and attitudes. Facebook promotes better communication between people. Surely, it does not tolerate crimes. It is only members who have other things in mind who do all these crimes.

[pemburudolar]

Not on real world we can see crime or victim, many of my friends ask me to help them with facebook profile. such as hacked or just forgot password :D
So beware guys :cool:

[pinoycity]

Indeed, criminals will always look for ways to dupe other people. And they see Facebook as one avenue where they can commit their crimes. So, better for people to become aware and be cautious of other users, especially those they do not know personally.

[kaichou22]

It is not far from truth. In my own point of view, it is very possible. I had known some cases or crimes with in relation with Facebook. Some does illegal recruitment through it. Facebook should be done for enjoyment and not for illegal acts.

[ekoytyas]

Can you believe that crimes like rapes, (etc.) are the very common and the one of the top? and dont you know that facebook is the best way to do those crimes? crimenals now are hightech. They use facebook to do their crimes.

that also happen in my country, many bad boy here using facebook to kidnap woman or girl than rape them. sometimes facebook is very useful also for bad man to steal, robe and kidnap. :confused:

[blackroseshrest]

actually worst user are making Facebook dirty.day by day this kinds of crime are increasing.its very hard to trust new friends.we believe friends but friends are crime that we don't know.we have to safe our self.

[ayushsrk]

Yes it seems that crimes are getting done through facebook very often.And there are lots of people who use facebook for their criminal activities but that is a very disadvantages of such types of social networking sites.

[blackroseshrest]

Facebook is a great social net working site it is very famous all over the world but some people are using this site as a crime.they are doing criminal activities for Facebook user.it is very bad and worst things doing in this site.Facebook has to stop this kinds of work

[ayushsrk]

Yes crime is getting more often in facebook and so many countries have even banned facebook in their respective countries.And there are so many terrorism activities going on because of facebook.They can connect to each other at any time.

[lieneil17]

those bad guys are using facebook to victimize people. they have a variation. from scamer's rapist or robbery. count it all. the common modus is they will add you as friend then chat with you. after chatting they will offer you something for example a cellphone. for a low price then you'll be interested with the offer. now the meet up is settled they will rob you or worse kill you.

[Dabchi]

And the most popular part is the area of scam which is the same as robbery through facebook and also another crime of facebook that we should be avoiding as much is the one facebook prostituting and that is the most victimizing type maybe most guys can't resist very much easily,like most of people who do get notifications of pornographics of which when clicked upon steals our details or virtually they will tend to have contact with us and creat a good relationship with us then will focus on getting us scammed with his/her imoral videos and picture.

This is a classic example of why adding strangers on facebook is not a good idea if you are using facebook for personal and not business purposes. You never know the type of people you will meet online and they all appear friendly up until you get to meet them personally and they show you their true colours.

[ayushsrk]

Facebook is a great social net working site it is very famous all over the world but some people are using this site as a crime.they are doing criminal activities for Facebook user.it is very bad and worst things doing in this site.Facebook has to stop this kinds of work

I am sure the CEOs of facebook are taking some steps to remove such types of activities from facebook.And especially the ones that are criminal activities and also scam and those acts that are not given good thoughts socially.But as the platform is big it is surely going to have to face such problems.
