Are they asking for links to their social media accounts? If they are, what bell end would provide them?

No need to provide anything, the FEO does a Google search and voila, there is it, all the stuff the person has submitted online.

People are stupid, aren't they

If you've got a common name or the same name as someone famous they're going to have to do a loooottttt of searching!

That's not a very intelligent method of gathering intel. This poor lady lived just a few miles down the road from me, same county, same name, same nickname, same age. Would you therefore conclude that I am dead? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-st ... e-23044637

Exactly. I'd honestly be surprised if they do actually do this. I'm fortunate to have the same (almost) name as a famous person in the US and it masks my online profile very nicely

A couple of well crafted search strings and a little bit of background knowledge will reveal one hell of a lot about the vast majority of people with an internet presence. Of course this does not mean the average FEO should be attempting such an exercise.
