If my best friend asked for $4000 I would HAVE to ask why-and it would HAVE to be in person or over the phone.
I wonder how many people fall for this stuff and are too embarrassed to come forward and say they did it, too. ]]>Oct 7th 2009 8:48AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/Oct 7th 2009 8:55AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/
My recommendation is simple, contact the ISP instead. Especially if it is one of the more respected provides. Just forward the message, with the headers intact, and they often respond in an hour with a message stating that the offending account has been terminated. Granted, with free accounts it is easy to make another one. But any scams underway with that account will be thwarted.

How stupid does one have to be not to realize that a web link in a comment post is nothing but trouble?]]>Mar 20th 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/Oct 7th 2009 9:41AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/Oct 7th 2009 10:21AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/Oct 7th 2009 10:49AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/Oct 7th 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/Oct 7th 2009 11:14AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/It just seems so simple to me.

secondly.. If I am in trouble I would call you, not facebook it... geesh. I love facebook and all but hey who can send me $100? I would ignore that post and hit the non existant dislike button. ]]>Oct 7th 2009 12:07PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/06/fbi-issues-warning-over-friendly-facebook-scams/with my space
