Preventing Account Cloning
The best way to prevent account cloning is to limit the information you share publicly on Facebook. Start by hiding your friends list – this makes it harder for scammers to find targets. Follow these steps to hide your friends list:
- Open Facebook from your web browser.
- Click the triangle in the upper right to open the menu, then select "Settings & privacy."
- Select "Settings."
- Click "Privacy" in the left-hand column.
- In the "How people find and contact you" section, check who can see your friends list. If it's "Public" or you want to change who can see it, click on "Edit" next to "Who can see your friends list?"
- Select who you would like to see your friends list from the drop-down menu.
In this digital age, it's crucial to stay vigilant and protect our online presence. Review your privacy settings regularly and be mindful of the information you share publicly. Stay safe online, and happy house sitting!
