Debt collector apparently using Facebook to track down debtors

The Consumerist has a post today about one debt collector that is apparently using Facebook to find and contact debtors. According to the article, a collection agency in Vancouver set up a Facebook account with a picture of an attractive female and used the account to track down debtors. Yet another reason to modify your Facebook privacy settings and be careful who you accept friend requests from.

The information on this website is not legal advice. It's also not dating advice. And it won't help you burn more calories, whiten your teeth, or cure your erectile dysfunction. Nearly everything in law depends on the facts of your situation and I can't give you legal advice until we talk privately and I know all of those facts about your case.

Also, I'm not your lawyer--and the stuff that you send me is not confidential--until we both sign something saying that I'm your lawyer. Kind of a no-brainer, huh?
