Well... where I work, we have people whose job it is to locate persons. One of the sources they use is Facebook. For whatever reason, a lot of less than intelligent crooks will try to send us false contact data but then post all about themselves on social media. :)

OK.. I see the relevance for collection agencies especially when needing
to locate persons. But even then, it would be wise to isolate work terminals for internet searches from the internal network used for accessing company accounts.
