You may recall that my FaceBook profile was stolen a while back. All of my \u201cfriends\u201d were approached by the hacker who tried to bilk them out of money. Some of them actually thought it was me contacting them even though the emails were written in poor, broken English. Most, however, were smart enough to realize it was a scammer and not me.<\/p>\n
My hacker has moved on to someone else\u2014maybe you or a friend of yours. I no longer have a FaceBook account. But I have information that could save you the stress of being hacked and the embarrassment of having your friends think you are pressuring them into doing something stupid and costly.<\/p>\n
Those of you who were reading my blog during that disturbing time may recall what the hacker told one of my friends who confronted him (or her). They said that \u201chacking was a right to be used to draw cash from the \u2018overclasses\u2019\u201d That\u2019s the mentality and belief system of these people. <\/p>\n
Here are some links where you can learn what scams are being launched on unsuspecting FaceBook users and how to better protect yourself.<\/p>\n
