Play it safe in Social Networking

Ok. This is the subject title of the email I received from ING DIRECT this week. I thought wow, this is awesome, receiving this email just when I am trying to learn about maketing through Social Media. ING DIRECT is using the one form of social media to warn about the dangers of social media. Talk about oxymoron....

Here is the gist of the email...

As social networking explodes in popularity, so do the scams hitting the sites where people like to gather. Here are a few quick tips to keep you safe the next time you're stalk..., err, "catching up" with old friends.

At the end of the email, they have a link to their security website. Of course, once you are in their website, you might be tempted by the discrete ads placed for "Protecting yourself from identity theft"....interested anyone??
