With access to your friend list, the bad guys will have even more people to target.Don’t let them manipulate you! Don't add or message people on social media that you do not know. These “random” profiles reaching out to you are fake and could lead you into a potentially dangerous situation.Let's stay safe out there!Stop, Look, and Think. Don't be fooled.
