Another gripe about facebook... atleast one of the ads in facebook are a scam enabling identity theft (I got bored one day and decided to check out the quiz ad... the one about the triangles and stuff). I don't know who exactly clicks on those ads... but facebook is not helping itself by getting funded but this sort of crap. What's worse is that the like/dislike function doesn't even have 'scam' as a default option for removal.
For people that aren't aware... the moment a website starts asking for personal information, you should start being weary. Only when you are ready to engage in a business transaction where money is likely to be involved should you ever divulge information such as your address, phone number, your primary email, and even your name. Obviously, even more sensitive information like social security number, passwords, pins, and security sensitive info like mother's maiden name, high school, city you were born in... should pretty much never be shared online.
