So when one has free time, s/he starts marking Uncles, Aunts, Cousins on Facebook. Set up the relationships. Not bad till one starts receiving calls for a certain relation from collection agencies.
The social network boom has got almost every person hooked on it. And Bank and Credit card defaulters better beware. Collection agencies have now started tapping Facebook to find the elusive persons or have started contacting the relatives for recovery.
Now how do they contact the relatives? Simple thru their mobile numbers which have been posted on the profiles!!!
Read a few newspaper articles about such incidences. Got to know of one such incidence yesterday thru a cousin. Infact read one article in the newspaper in which a Collection agency agent befriended an elusive defaulter on Facebook, arranged for a meet, where he found that the real intention was to recover his dues.
Ones intention of setting up relations is not bad, but cant certainly get you in trouble if your relative is that elusive defaulter…….
But yes…posting of mobile numbers should certainly be thought of again!!!
