Too Good to be True!

   You've probably heard it a million
times. If it sounds too good to be true
it probably is!
   Thus was the case yesterday.
   In the time it took to get to church
and come back home...somebody had
hacked my Facebook page and
inserted a post suggesting that one of
my friends had a company that was
doing a promotion and offering free
Apple macbooks airs.
    I immediately noticed a couple
problems.
    First, I don't have any friend with
a company that gives away apples!
    Fruit or computers.
    Secondly I couldn't remember
writing anything like that. So I
figured it wasn't me.
    There was still another clue.
    A mess of my friends on Facebook
all posted the same exact message!
    We either all had the same
generous friend and a loss of
memory or this was a hacker's
gimmick.
    I thought about it for a couple of
minutes....then voted for "Gimmick!"
    After all, if it was true wouldn't
I get one of those free things too?!
    It's the second time someone has
invaded my web space!
    In 2009, just after returning from
a cruise, my daughter called my
attention to an email...sent out under
my name....which asked the recipient
to send money to help me get home
from England where I had been
robbed and left penny less.
     Since I hadn't gone to England
I suspected foul play! I'm really
quick on things like that!
     One of my sister-in-laws
actually responded to the request.
     She didn't send any money but
suggested, instead, that I should just
be left where I was!
     I was sort of sorry I wasn't in
England with money coming in from
all my friends and relatives.
     Anyhow, don't fall for any on-line
requests from me for money!
     I'll just give you a call if I need
any! (Please make sure I have all your
phone numbers!)
     Hope your site is secure and all
your NEWS is good!
