3 women discovered their FB pics have surfaced on porn sites

STOMPer SGGirl is appalled to learn that Facebook photos of some Singapore women have been exploited for use on porn and dating sites and hopes that Singapore women can be more careful of what they post online as they never know where their photos might end up.
In a The Straits Times article, at least three women have discovered that their Facebook photos have surfaced on porn and dating sites. The three are victims of what is known as 'photo-jacking', the act of stealing pictures from social media like Facebook and Twitter and exploiting them for use on, say, porn sites.
One of the victims, 32-year-old housewife Jules Rahim was shocked when a friend tipped her off last Wednesday that a picture of her in a bikini, which she had posted on her Facebook account three years ago, was featured on a pornographic website.
Last Tuesday, another friend told her that the photo had also popped up on a dating site called sgGirls.com. It was accompanied by a caption which listed a telephone number to call and how much it cost to chat.
Ms Rahim said, "It's embarrassing. People I know may think wrongly of me." She has reportedly filed two police reports, one about the porn site and the other about the dating site. She also intends to file a magistrate's complaint at the Subordinate Courts for intentional harassment.

"Women, please think twice before posting your photos online. You never know where your photos might eventually end up.
"There are so many photos of local girls on sgGirls website, I doubt those girls are even aware of it." -
