Sign into your accountConsumer Alert: Avoid MyBizCard
May 07 2013
Every now and then, a product comes along that seems to provide a great resource for real estate. Then everything goes horribly wrong. You push the wrong button and a series of events is set in place that you cannot control. This happens a lot with apps and social networking.
There is a service called MyBizCard. It promises to help you with "ratings and reviews from your peers that shows how awesome you are." Every agent wants that. Moreover, it is free! BE VERY CAREFUL, IT IS A VIRUS.
Free is the first flag.
"Ready for you in under 5 seconds. Try it now."
That is the second flag. The service asks you to sign in with your LinkedIn profile. When you do, it provides the app with the following:
- Your full profile, including experience, education, skills, and recommendations
- Your email address
- Your connections – your first and second degree connections. That is everyone you are connected with on LinkedIn, along with everyone they are connected to.
- Your contact information – address, phone number and bound accounts.
- Invitations and messages – allows MyBizCard to send messages and invitations to connect with you.
