\"\"Good grief. What's up with the Facebook Stalker app (and all the idiots that are promoting it)?<\/h3>\n

Folks, it's just another way that scammers are getting you to give up your Facebook password.<\/p>\n

Don't fall for it!<\/p>\n

First of all, if your Facebook security is good (no telephone numbers, addresses or real birth years), then you don't need to worry about those who will steal your identity.<\/p>\n

And if you have played fast and loose with your personal information get LifeLock<\/a> identity theft protection!!!<\/p>\n

Secondly, it's easy enough to tell if you have a REAL stalker (and I've dealt with 2 of them over the years).<\/strong><\/p>\n

They don't just lurk – they pursue you — relentlessly.<\/p>\n

They send you every app in the book, send you loving messages and then express real frustration when you don't respond. (Have you seen “The Resident<\/a>\"\"“? Watch it.)<\/p>\n

Dealing with Facebook stalkers is easy — defriend the creeps.<\/p>\n

I have 2 Facebook accounts. One for family and REAL friends (those whom I've actually met, spent time with… love). The other is for people with whom I do business<\/a>. Some folks are on both accounts… but never would I allow a stranger into my ‘friends and family' account.<\/p>\n

Back to the point, as far as an Stalker Trackers application on Facebook — there's no such thing.
\nThe original stalker app was removed from Facebook very quickly due to security issues. Don't believe that others will be any different.<\/p>\n

So, don't fall for the bandwagon and promote it. In too many cases, it's just a front for nefarious programmer\/scammers to access your account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
