NONE of this can happen to me. I never used Facebook or any other ‘social media’. I can be social enough with my telephone & with in person contacts.
I NEVER do any purchasing online. I NEVER do any bill paying online. I do purchase auto parts from Summit Racing & horse supplies from a catalog, but I actually SPEAK to the employees at those facilities & handle my business with them in that manner.
I get very good customer service with them. both, especially Summit Racing, since I have older vehicles that the local ‘auto parts stores’ no longer have IN THEIR COMPUTERS. Summit never lets me down.
I have resisted the ‘social media’ crap for years & I kept telling people their information was NOT private there. NOW-—I really laugh at them.
Actually it IS happening to you. The bigs collect and move around data all the time. Even without an account FB has a data file on you.
It’s a post privacy world, you’re just generating data in it.
If you go to any web page that has the FB logo on it, e.g., YouTube, they are collecting data on you. ANY page with the FB logo. If you do one Google search, they are collecting more data than FB, Twitter, etc.
A person doesn’t have to be on any social media in order to be a victim. I was all self righteous believing I was safe ‘cause I was on no social media. Then I saw a couple news clips on Fox, and a read an article on the subject. I had been terribly wrong.
