They also sent emails to all her contacts saying same They also deleted all of her emails on that account.
so she is trying to deal with that now. Has an appointment with a cop in 2 days to go over what we have. One friend called while in a chat with the scammer/hacker and asked for money and gave some wire transfer info, I told her to ask for an address to mail to so we got that anyway.

Change your passwords often people.
facebook is not safe

maybe my wife learned something from this


I don't do facebook and never will

Ronnie, if you have any extra work, i could use some, thanks
I got that email too Bruce

More sorry for you and you family,

Bots hit FB, gmail , and publicly accessible system all day trying to break into accounts, once they are in they sift through your personal data, and play the game. the odds are low but somebody usually falls to it.

I got hit on gmail a few months ago. FB just recently.

If you're online, you have to be online safely.
