Bikeguy Posted January 3 Share #8 Posted January 3 So... someone hacked you uncles account. Now they are using his FB info to gain access to other accounts. Looking for the payday... That is why I almost never use FB. My profile has no info entered. I just have the account to access some sites that only have a FB page and no web page.

I've seen enough that I'd never use a Ouija board. I don't want to find out what could happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 3 Share #11 Posted January 3 8 hours ago, groupw said: Just sent me a FB friend request. Should I accept? Or should I just get a Ouija board? A few years I got a friend request, allegedly from my cousin Linda, that appeared as a pop-up while I was browsing on my laptop. I thought we were already friends so I approved it. It turned out to be a fake Linda who had stolen her Facebook picture, etc. so the website looked like Linda's and the URL had one small period or comma difference that I didn't notice. Next thing I know, I get a Facebook message from the fake Linda, asking me if I heard of a site where you can win money that needed my phone number etc. The formality of the language wasn't like Linda at all and I suspected it was a fake. Linda's brother Tom had recently died, so I asked, "How's Tommy doing?" The reply was, "He's fine." I reported the fake site to Facebook - I had to go through a Google search to figure out how to do it - and the site was down within a couple minutes. Fortunately, I did a screen capture of the texting so I could email it to the real Linda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the 80s a coworker and a friend of his decided to take a Ouija board to a cemetery on a full moon at midnight. They were doing it as a joke because they didn’t believe in much. They had only been using it for a few minutes when they both felt cold hands on their shoulders and no one there . They ran from the cemetery screaming. They left the board behind and never went back after it. He said he would never touch one again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted January 3 Share #16 Posted January 3 It's enough that someone tries to impersonate a dead loved one but I seriously question listing a pile of your living ones in the obit. There are pros and cons to that. In today's world, it may not be a great idea. I plan to ask a lawyer about this when get around to stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to give the bill collectors a list of people to harass after my demise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
