I haven't had a problem with my facebook page, but you never know these days and after reading this I am planning on removing it. Thank you. I never thought of that before.

I've heard of people registering for in Facebook with a birth date that is a couple of days before/after their REAL birthday. It only works if you haven't already signed up though! Pity to miss out completely on bday messages. This seems good advice! I’ve heard of people registering for in Facebook with a birth date that is a couple of days before/after their REAL birthday.

It's not just birthdays but place of birth has well. This is a common security question and there are facebook applications that practically advertise your city of birth. Another point is despite every safeguard you take to protect yourself, your information is already out there. You can't control what happens to that credit application once you fill it out. A data breech or a disgruntled employee at the bank, car dealership, etc... can leave you vulnerable in more ways people care to think about. Great post.
