Social media allows old acquaintances to reconnect, new friends to develop and professional relationships to flourish. But do we reveal too much on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn – and even iReport -- in turn making us vulnerable to identity theft or cyber crimes?

How much are you willing to let the world know about you through social networking? Do your friends' status updates ever cross the line into too-much-information? Has a scammer on a social networking site ever managed to reel you in?
