A recent article on fraud on Facebook - of course it is not Facebook to
blame, more stupid users (
http://www.cnet.com.au/software/security/0,239029558,339281228,00.htm?feed=pt_online).
And they don't need Facebook - recent survey showed that Nigerian email
scams were netting at least $36m a year in Aus (and another survey showed
Victorians were losing $250m a year to online fraud).
