Are Phones That Anachronistic? - Bill Collectors Are On Facebook Too, And Hunting You Down While You Play Farmville!

Some of my readers have already alerted me to the fact that bill collectors are, as a recent MSNBC article states, "trolling" Facebook and other social network sites. I am connected to a number of people on Facebook, but am extremely careful when accepting friend requests. This is one of the reasons for that. If people do not send me specific reasons for why they wish to friend me, or have a number of valid connections, then I refuse to connect with them.

I am curious about this newish trend. Have any of you have been tracked down by one of your student lenders via Facebook?
