Dating site steals SA Facebook profiles

Sigh, oh noes my facebook fanclub is fake.!!! but then I knew that already, I was just hoping to get some nakid pics.... :(
Johannesburg - An American dating website has stolen the personal information of about 250 000 people, including a number of South Africans, from their Facebook profiles and posted it on the dating site without their knowledge.

The website, www.lovely-faces.com, promises to connect you to a suitable partner. They have divided men and women into categories according to the information they have posted on Facebook. They have categorised them as “climber”, “easy going”, “funny”, “mild”, “sly” and “smug”.

People are also categorised according to nationality and gender...........

"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

No you sign up for retarded apps on FB that steal your details when you click accept or they buy them from someone else.

I'm not on there.
