Facebook

I am so sorry this happened to you guys. I'm still shaking. And, it is absolutely OK that you de-friend me on FB. I don't know if I'll try to get back in or not.

My daughter said that this western union thing is a big scam issue right now. She said that the FBI is getting involved and taking it seriously.

Please don't apologize. The fact that you and your family are all right is all that matters Sandy.

Oh, wow, how awful that this happened to you. I just checked my Facebook and looks like we weren't friends, so I missed out on the hacker. When/If you setup a new account, please be sure and invite me to be your friend. So hope you can get this straightened out.

You might call the FBI and report this. Also, you might be able to Google Facebook contact number. I did that to contact eBay and found one that worked. They asked me how I found it and I told them I'd Googled it and they said that no one was supposed to be able to find the number. My identity had been stolen and I had to get into my account and couldn't. Ebay straightened it all out for me and I got to keep my same user name, just change the password.

Hope this all gets straightened out soon!!!

Dang Sandy...and here I thought I had friends traveling ABROAD I was prepared to make the sacrifice and fly to London myself just to help you get home

I know this must have been scary for you. It feels weird knowing I was having a chat with an actual hacker/criminal. I'd love to know how many people they have fooled.

Now to important matters...I need SOMEBODY'S phone number!!! Maybe we should make a number chain...Hmmm... Some of you have each others number already... I think I'll pm my number to Gayle. Anybody have Gayle's number, or is this a bad idea?

Hey - since it's quite obvious that these quacks can get whatever information they want - my cell phone number is 281-468-7394.

My friend that wired them $900 is supposed to have her money back today or tomorrow. I scolded her royally for believing them. We emailed each other on Friday, talking about my trip to my son's for the weekend. She knows that I don't travel out of the states. She said she just really thought she was talking to me. Another friend was falling for it, but asked them a question about one of my grand daughters who is the same age as his daughter and they couldn't give him the answer.

Of course, I can't get into FB now because they can't find my email address BECAUSE THE HACKER CHANGED. I want to get back on because I dearly enjoy looking at pictures and hearing from my friends and family.

This is happening to several people - not just me!

I'm just glad you're safe, but I was willing to help you with what I could. I just got suspicious because I hadn't read anywhere where you were going to London. I'm so thankful Judy had your number and checked it out with you and that you were safe and sound.

Darn hackers anyway. You'd think that as big as FB is, they would have a much better security system. Not sure how all that works, but there has got to be something they could do.

I saved your number in my cell phone. There should be a way to get back on FB...but I don't have a clue how. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

Janet and I have a list of several of our member's numbers for when things like this happen. I'll send you my phone number so you can get a hold of me if something happens again. I do have Gayle's number.

I have never heard of such a thing. I am so sorry you had this happen to you.

I've now heard of 5 other people who got hacked, too. I've heard of 2 who sent money. I got an email from the Facebook fraud/abuse division, telling me to change my email (Yahoo) password since that's where they got in. They said they are working with the FBI and that thousands of people were hacked.
