The main story that drove this popular concern was pretty much debunked. Basically the person that was robbed was burgled by a friend on Facebook. It is common for people to be robbed by people they know when on vacation. Facebook was just a new means of someone finding out that they were out of town rather than word of mouth.
Kudos to the OP for creating this service! A quick suggestion, consider adding an about page that succinctly describes the site: what it does, why to use it; how to use it. Include a short video; there are plenty of free and open source programs to records sound and edit video. Or include screenshots of the major functional areas. Most people will want to check something out before going through the trouble of registering.
Happy travels!
