    I guess that’s a problem with Facebook. It’s open to the public. I seldom even look at it. I’ve seen that same photo all over the Internet. I never put it up anyplace but Facebook.

    For the record when I generally get a scammer trying to add me she's far better looking and offers some sort of service...your scammer profile is weak

    I have no clue what's going on with this silly Facebook crap. I just received a phone call from my cousin in California telling me she got the same message. She also received a message that I've won $500,000 in some sort of lottery. I just went to my page and there's a long post on MY page from a family friend who is on my friend's list. I don't know what that's all about ... it's a post that SHOULD be on HER page, but I just checked her page and it's not there. How it ended up on MY page, I have no clue. She LIVES on Facebook and must spend 3/4 of her life posting on her page, so I suspect there's some sort of connection. Makes no sense to me. I also received a couple messages from Facebook saying:

    Hi Jim,

    We responded to your request: A friend reported a profile they think is pretending to be you.

    To read our message, visit your Support Inbox.

    - The Facebook Help Team
    And ....

    Hi Jim,

    One of your Facebook friends reported Jim Kribbs for pretending to be you. We take these requests seriously, so we'll review the profile and remove it if it goes against our Community Standards. We'll let you know when a decision has been made.

    Thanks,
    The Facebook Team
    Who TF knows what's going on? And we want to move this site to FB?

    I do -

    People duplicate a profile of yours. Pull your pic and basically create a second profile. Then the send a message from you, or what looks like it is from you and say something like the above. The next message is generally something like give me your CC so I can wire you some.

    The second message you have was me reporting it. That other profile is now gone. I didn't want them to be able to message your friends from the fake profile, so I reported it so it would be removed. (see my above note)

    They're still accepting late ballots, aren't they? Or is that just Democratic marked ballots?
