Is Your Insurance Agent a Facebook Friend?

I am sure by now you heard about what happened to Natalie Blanchard. Well, if not let me fill you in. In a nutshell, Blanchard was getting insurance benefits for depression. During that time her insurance company found her enjoying some fun times through pictures she posted on her Facebook page. End result... her insurance company cancels the benefits she was getting for depression because of the pictures she posted on her Facebook page.

So, are you thinking this is an isolated incident? Insurance companies don't really look at people's Facebook pages do they? The answer is Yes. Insurance companies have been using the internet and social networking sites as one among many tools to research insurance claims from their customers. Therefore, you may want to think for a minute who all you want to see your life and who you choose as your friend on your Facebook page.
