BETTYBOOP Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Hi everybody, I haven't posted in quite some time. However, I want to make everyone here at DV aware of the following... About 4 weeks ago I received a message in my fb messenger from someone who has been on.facebook for many years. I found it a bit strange because I had not heard from him in a while bit he doesn't post on Facebook often. He is a member here on dv. Away it turns out he had messaged 2 other dv members through Facebook. I actually think now that it was nt him who sent the original message as when I looked his page he had not posted to fb since May. I think his Facebook has been hacked and he may not be aware of it. So I clicked the link believing it was from friend.. Well on Thursday afternoon my facebook got hacked to the point where they changed the recovery email and the password so I could not recover my account . They then started messaging folks on my friends list with the same link as I had gotten from my friend. Hence why I now think he has been hacked. On Friday morning I went to the ATM to get money for work and it was EMPTY. THEY HAD MANAAGED TO HACK MY BANK ACCOUNT. SPlease make all your friends aware of this.. I will eventually get my money returned once the bank has investigated.. 1 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
