Predator torments sorority pledges on facebook

Posted on: December 2, 2010 | By: Kelly Reimer | Filed under: Tech Tips

At several southeast universities, including Florida State University, University of Florida, Auburn University, University of Alabama, and LSU, over 70 college girls pledging sororities have reported being targeted by a Facebook scam. They get a Facebook message from an older sorority sister offering to help the pledge, but the other person isn’t really a sorority sister. What starts as a normal conversation usually ends with nude photos, threats of violence, and personal secrets revealed. Watch the story from the Today show on NBC, and remember:

* Use your privacy settings in social networking sites like Facebook

* Only accept friends who you know in real life
