> What type of information can one get through such connections? > Pretty much everything. I had access to e-mail and bank accounts I know facebook et al. have their share of privacy concerns, but I think this is a bit much to drop in without giving more details. Seems like a non-story to me.

+1 .. It'd have been nice if he had disclosed some of his methods. Just saying "I had access to email and bank accounts" doesn't really do much. This fake profile of a good looking lady is social engineering 101. It's psychological more than anything else. When a good looking woman who matches on your interests and qualifications, approaches you, it's but natural for the person to lower their guard down. Also, a lot of people could have been in touch for purely networking reasons, wanting to leverage the network such an individual would possess.
