15 days old Facebook Friends, Man murders Woman when they meet in person

As per a report:

After chatting with a Facebook friend for only 15 days, 42-year-old Baguiati homemaker Soma Ghosh agreed to meet him. That proved to be her undoing. The 33-year-old man from Birbhum landed up at her flat and murdered her in a fit of rage on Monday after she rebuffed his advances, police said on Thursday. Abhishek Majumdar, known as Totla Rana back home due to his stammering, was arrested from Bolpur on Wednesday night and brought to Kolkata. He used the name Nandan Sen on Facebook and was introduced to Soma on the social networking site by a close friend. Soma and Abhishek began chatting regularly and only seven days later reportedly exchanged phone numbers. Police say Soma invited Abhishek to her home.

Accordingly, he landed up at Soma's Rabindrapally apartment complex around 1pm on Monday and was actually escorted to her flat by a next-door neighbour. Police have two theories on what transpired next. "Both the man and the woman were shocked to find the real human being to be different from the virtual world," said an investigator. Majumdar is married and has a son. The short, slightly built man had posted the jazzy photo of a biker on his Facebook profile. "Majumdar desired a 'closer relationship', which Soma strongly opposed.

She was the mother of a 17-year-old girl. But the youth could not take her rejection and tried to force her. There was a scuffle and she fought back. In a fit of rage, he picked up a belan-chaki and a knife from the kitchen and attacked her. When she fell on the floor unconscious after the beating, Majumdar cut her throat and fled with Soma's phone as he was afraid that the numerous SMSs exchanged between the two would have led police to him," said an officer, adding that the murder was not planned. Another theory is that he might have been blackmailing her. Since the family says some gold bangles are missing, police are investigating if Abhishek took them to make it look like a robbery.

"He confessed that he killed her in a fit of rage and fled," said Bidhannagar ADCP Santosh Nimbalkar. It was Soma's daughter who found her body after returning from school around 3pm on Monday. Her throat was slit and there were multiple stab wounds on her chest and gashes on her hands, indicating she put up a fight. During investigation, police questioned her husband Sujit Ghosh, a family friend and a neighbour who also had a link in the Facebook chats between Soma and Abhishek. "After interrogating her, we came to know about Soma's new friendship with Nandan aka Abhishek and started tracking him down," an officer said.

Facebook Cheat Pretends Heartbreak, Dupes Girl of Rs 10 Lakhs

Now what would you say to this report that a College dropout used fake Facebook profile to sweet-talk a girl into stealing her mother's jewellery. Within 15 days, cops turn the tables, lure him with a fake profile of their own. As per the report:

The police have arrested an 18-year-old college dropout who posed as a businessman on Facebook and sweet-talked a 14-year-old into giving him Rs 10 lakh worth jewellery and cash she had stolen from home. Fittingly, the cops nabbed the accused, identified as Misbah Ayub Ali Khan, by baiting him by creating a fake Facebook profile of a woman. Khan, who was arrested from his hometown in Uttar Pradesh, has been remanded to police custody till December 16. “The accused was a student of hotel management in Rizvi but stopped going to college some months ago,” said DCP Mahesh Patil, who headed the investigation.

After chatting with some of the girls for a few days using the Armaan profile, Khan decided his target — a 14-year-old schoolgirl. He told her he is a successful businessman with a lot of property. Soon, they were talking of getting married. “Khan told the girl he had a Rs 2-crore worth plot where he would construct a villa for them to live.” But, Khan told the girl, there was hitch. He had raised Rs 1.7 crore, but was falling short of Rs 30 lakh. The girl immediately volunteered to help. The next day, she stole 19 tola of her mother’s gold jewellery and some cash — totalling Rs 10 lakh — and handed it over to Armaan. When the ‘Armaan’ Facebook profile went dormant, she realised she had been cheated. 

On November 28, she confessed to her parents. Following her parents' complaint, the police first visited Khan's grandparents at Saki Naka. They were told Khan had not come home for 10 days and they were worried. After two days, Malad police inspector Maruti Sangle, decided to turn the tables on him. Sangle created a Facebook profile in a girl’s name and sent ‘Armaan’ a friend request., which Khan accepted.

Millions of Facebook and Twitter users urged to leave instructions to manage their accounts beyond the Grave

As per one report:

Millions of Facebook and Twitter users are being urged to leave instructions to manage their social media accounts from beyond the grave Social media users warned to prepare for digital afterlife.

A new Digital Legacy Guide from SagaLegal.co.uk has been made available, containing advice on how people can ensure their online accounts expire when they do. The guide covers everything from social media accounts to online logins for sites such as Amazon, Google, professional directories, supermarket voucher schemes and music and film sites. 

People with a significant online presence could find friends and family receiving sombre and unnecessary reminders of a recent death, for example, via poorly-timed social media birthday notifications. More importantly, unplanned digital legacies could pose potentially harmful security issues. Any digital legacy should contain a financial element, as direct debits will continue to leave a bank account until it is frozen by the provision of a death certificate.

Facebook Prank by a Fisherman regarding Gold Bar Launches Police Investigation

What would you say to a  Facebook Prank by a Fisherman regarding Gold Bar which Launched Police Investigation. As per a report:

A fishing trawler crew’s prank backfired after they posted photos on Facebook of a fake gold bar and were met by police as soon as they docked. 

 The fishermen boasted that they had found 11 bars of bullion worth £1.5m when if fact the metal was an old brass bracket. Skiller Billy Anderson, 36, had to explain to police that it was simply a piece of scrap his boat landed while fishing for scallops and not bullion rumoured to be on the seabed from the infamous 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery, where £26million was stolen from a Heathrow warehouse. 

 Mr Anderson, who works for TN Trawlers in Arran, and his crew of six cut up the bracket with an angle grinder so he could trick his fiancée into thinking that they were suddenly rich, according to The Sun. The fishermen’s boasts quickly spread throughout other boats, and Mr Anderson was met with requests to give the precise location of his find, 16 miles off Falmouth in Cornwall. 

 Mr Anderson, from Dumfries, Scotland, had to persuade his fiancée, Claire Muir, 29, not to go on a lavish shopping spree and eventually told his boat’s owners the truth after they prepared to send two more vessels to the site.
