My daughter called yesterday…not really unusual…she does call frequently…but…she was out of town…so…I knew something was up…and…up it was…Mama…you just sent me a friend request on Facebook…
Hacked…
Now…I was knee deep in writing…for a change…but…I sauntered on over to Facebook…where life was anything but normal…I had messages…I had posts on my timeline…people were sending me instant messages as I was trying to find out what was going on and report the phony page…
Seems as though I was part of a…scam…where someone assumes your identity…copies some of your pictures…making the page look real…and sends requests to all your friends…then…sends them messages…so excited that they have won money in a lottery…and…only have to pay…$$$…in order to collect it…
Luckily…none of my friends…sent money…but…several of them did accept the friend request…thinking that I had somehow…accidently…unfriended them…and…was simply making things right…at first glance…the profile looked right…it had my cover picture…it had my profile picture…and…they accepted me…once again…
It’s easy to do…I’ve done it myself…
Anyway…afterwards…I was…frustrated…angry…the whole thing had taken a lot of time that I really wanted to spend working on my work in progress…
Bertha…popped in…reminding me…of my challenge of late…to…love…regardless of the circumstances…she reminded me…to send the love blessing to the hacker…
I wish you peace…I wish you love…I wish you happiness…I wish you good success…
Because…she reminded me…one more time…that…if this person…felt…peace…love…happiness…and…success…in their life…they wouldn’t be…spending time…hacking Facebook accounts…
Hmmm…
Jane
Jane, Bertha is sooo right. Now, if we could all remember that!!!
I’ve had it happen to me before also, make sure you change your password!
Password was changed immediately!!!!!!!!!! It is frustrating for sure! And…I’m working on remembering…
You know I adore you, and Bertha is my all-time favorite go to …however, I think she is off her pedestal here !
There are those, entities, its, whatever’s…that have no desire to be loved or changed…Hackers clearly fall into that category 🙂
Peace, Love, and Light to you and Bertha….sharp pins in the eye to all the hackers !!
LOL…Bea…I promise not to hack you! Peace, Love and Light back to you!
