May 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Dr. Clyde A. Lettsome has written a number of articles for consumers discussing the possible pitfalls of using social networking sites and how to protect yourself from people and companies that may pray on your social networking data. This time, he addresses a use for social networks that many of us have never considered:  as a tool for debt collectors to asses you assets, find you to collect a debt, or even to embarrass you if dodge them.

“Many users of social networking sites never dreamed that debt collectors would use these sites against them,” says Dr. Lettsome.  “More than ever before users should consider how they secure their sensitive information as well as consider what information they post on social networking sites.”
