Here comes another Facebook rant. Hahaha. I'm outa control.
I get these dumb messages from weird men who are "prowling" widows. When the message starts with "Hello Angel", or references hugs and kisses,I immediately roll my eyes. Do you really think that kind of crap is going to work?
I will say, they can be most amusing. Here's a recent one that was sent as a private message:

I am such a lucky woman because I attracted him? Oh, gag me.
I wonder, do the widowers out there deal with this kind of stuff?

Hi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteIf you are getting these via Facebook, you may want to take a look at your security settings. When properly set, not just anybody can see all your personal data, photos and email address.
When in doubt, I just ask a teenager. They all seem to be able to navigate around the settings intuitively.
And NO, I have not gotten anything like this.
The scary part is that someone out there might just fall for this lame line.

Thanks Chris. I do know a few teenagers, so maybe that's the answer. LOL. You are right though...it is scary to think that someone could fall for this.
