I’ve done something stupid ...and joined a site where you meet like minded people..

@TicketyBoo I think you'll be okay. Just be careful in the future.

Thank you I will be careful from now on. I hope this doesn’t come back on me@LadyGrace

@TicketyBoo No. I think it will be just fine. Try not to worry okay?

@TicketyBoo It is ,as long as the one that is yours is secure .no info can be gathered from it .
I was stupid ,I had video's online with links back to Google and face book .
You get a friend request from someone that seems to know a lot about you ,you accept it
They send out one reveres engineered chain mail
"saying pass this on to your friends " and most people share them ,and soon they not only have all your friends names and whatever info ,but now they get all their friends names too .they have people that don't do anything but collect names that can be linked back to an e mail account they can verify ,(thats why a verification not linked to an actual IP address is worthless ,you can make fake accounts just for such purposes ),,
Secure who you want to see that info and verify what ever can come up has no personal info that can be exploited

I’m so naive with these things. I just didn’t think but was shocked when I saw a reply on my phone as I thought he d email me through the site. I’m learning though, no fool like an ole one@rckt148

@TicketyBoo Yea I learned the hard way
My son in law runs his company over the net ,its very secure but ,,someone hacked Wall Street ,Wells Fargo ,my bank
The records of the Vets and Yahoo,so how secure is anything ?
I am thankful Google spotted suspicious inquiries and activities concerning my name and reported it to the FBI ,,
I thought the Emails from the FBI was a scam until my ATM card wouldn't work and I was told the FBI sealed my account and I needed to contact them ,(by my bank ,they seized my social medial accounts too )it was a mess proving who I am and they were the fakes ,,
So I warn friends all the time ,,Be careful and stop sending me chain mail ,,
A friend I warned over and over about this ..
I get a private message ,that he is trying to figure out how to spend a $90.000.00 grant he just was approved for
Wanted to know if I had applied for mine ,
Sends me a link ,,I had other friends that got the same message
They were asked for their banking info ,,they needed an account and routing numbers ,,"to send their money to"
I warned my grandson just in time ,he was about to give them the information .

It was not my friend ,,,but he caused it for not listening
all of his friends got that message ,and some of my friends only friended him because he is a friend of mine
now he can call me on the phone ,he is no longer on any of my contacts ,he put my family in harms way for being so stupid ,,I warned him this could happen

I’m feeling stupid, really stupid. I’m married , so is he and I thought it was a good idea, now I’m not sure what to,do@EugenieLaBorgia

@TicketyBoo I wouldn't worry too much.

I’m not on Facebook but I’m so worried my surname will be on.@ravenwind43

@TicketyBoo I wouldn't be overly concerned unless you told him personal things like address...etc

No, only county nothing else@ravenwind43

I’m so sorry I’m not even sure .. I just never thought but he seemed nice and I sent him a pic@SW-User

@TicketyBoo likely that let him know your email address and only your email address

I’m stupid, I know I am. He replied with a message saying ‘thanks, nice photo’ ...@SW-User

I do hope so. He was respectful, but I’m a old fool@curiosi

@TicketyBoo See you are clear enough to remember that he was respectful. Bad people show you who they are.

I’m hoping so anyway. He seemed nice but you just never know@curiosi

You have no idea what that would do@helenS

@TicketyBoo Ok sorry.

His health has not been well, I just felt lonely. Trust me to mess things up@helenS
