Well, I think it is definitely a cyber crime. If you noticed, there are some member who used other images in their profile picture. Do you think it is the same thing?

@stephjoy I am not sure. Some people call it a poser. They are using photos of others to be identified in a persona of others.

Learn from this incident, too much personal info and pictures are not good in fb . Beware of this theft they look for young innocent people. Even a clever woman can be cheated lo. [Woman issue lo]
