I’m going to keep this simple by merely stating that if it’s free…it costs too much.
Thanks for the warning!

Come on, why pick on Pinterest, we all know, well some of us know all the social media sites run the same risk. I guess bad news sells. 🙂

Mike, are you serious? The story above specifically notes that Pinterest is as vulnerable as any other social network, specifically Facebook.
Last fall, we had all of our credit and bank cards stolen and we lost thousands. Yes, we were able to recoup some of it, but we lost a lot of money, as purchases popped up all around the world by people who had physical replicas of our card. The banks and credit card companies see this so frequently, that they can’t even trace how or why or where it happens, so they simply try to get your money back. No telling what I clicked that caused it, because I’m on thousands of web pages every day.
So no, I’m not picking on Pinterest, I’m clearly one of the loudest Pinterest advocates in the nation, but I do think it’s appropriate to warn people that TINSTAFL, don’t you? Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to ignore the story as someone people look to for Pinterest advice? I think so.
