etcswjoe Posted June 26, 2014 #1 Posted June 26, 2014 Got a friend request today on FB from Yama Mama (or her clone) almost identical to her old profile. I have not heard back form her to see if she is a victim of scam or not. Article about getting friend request from people you are already friends with. http://www.ricksdailytips.com/beware-duplicate-friend-requests/
Skid Posted June 26, 2014 #2 Posted June 26, 2014 She posted this within the past hour on FB. "To all my Facebook friends, if you receive a request to be my friend do not accept it. (You know you already have been my FB friend I assume) Some one just told me they received what appears to be a bogus request."
bongobobny Posted June 26, 2014 #3 Posted June 26, 2014 Yes, it is a SCAM! I accepted and a minute later (supposed) she said hi and proceeded to tell me her good news, she was awarded $150000 from the Government to help out retirees. She then told me my name was on the list too, and I should contact some person. At that point I smelled scam so I wrote that you are a scam, not Peggy, BYE!
Huggy Posted June 26, 2014 #4 Posted June 26, 2014 And that's why I am no loner on Facebook! Just too much of a hassle!!
Yama Mama Posted June 27, 2014 #5 Posted June 27, 2014 Hi Everybody, It is me the real me. I changed my profile photo, and I changed my password. I do not know what caused this problem, but I apologize for it, however I really did not do anything to cause it as far as I know. Really nuts. Yama Mama
Gary N. Posted June 27, 2014 #6 Posted June 27, 2014 If you became friends with the new Peggy do her (the real Peggy) a favour and delete the friendship and report any messages you got from the new account to FB as a scam.
Yammer Dan Posted June 27, 2014 #7 Posted June 27, 2014 Really nuts??? Yep. That's our Peggy.........
KIC Posted June 27, 2014 #8 Posted June 27, 2014 Peggy...be sure you change the password to your email account that is the email associated with your FB page. If they get that password, they can keep taking over your account no matter how many times you change your FB account password. My sister in law's account kept getting hacked and they would message me about how "she" was mugged and needed money immediately. I had fun with the con man trying to give him fake American Express and Visa card numbers etc. All he wanted was an emergency Western Union money sent. I finally told him I had kept him on the computer long enough to trace his IP number... he never answered after that.... that hurt my feelings... I finally figured how they kept getting into my Sister in laws account and it was through her email account. Every time she changed her password, they would request or read the same email in her account.
Yama Mama Posted June 27, 2014 #9 Posted June 27, 2014 Dan you are just too sweet to me! Yama Mama:stickinouttounge:

Yama Mama Posted June 27, 2014 #14 Posted June 27, 2014 I am glad you all appreciate the money I have sent you. Just do not get crazy and go buy a Harley or something like that or I will send out another bogus message and tell you, you won the Irish Lottery. Yama Mama:beer:

Prairiehammer Posted June 27, 2014 #16 Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) So. How do we know which Peggy is the real Peggy? Is this the real Yama Mama or the fake?: https://www.facebook.com/peggyann.pahneryerger?hc_location=friend_browser&fref=pymk This Peggy only has two mutual friends. Seems like it may not be the real Peggy. OTOH this Peggy seems more likely the real Peggy with 24 mutual friends: https://www.facebook.com/peggy.yerger?fref=ts Edited June 27, 2014 by Prairiehammer
videoarizona Posted June 27, 2014 #17 Posted June 27, 2014 Mama, Happened to me too. My friends clued me in...so I posted a warning to FB that someone was cloning me, they took care of it. Idiot was gone within 24 hours. david

Yama Mama Posted June 27, 2014 #19 Posted June 27, 2014 Fellas! I think this fake Peggy thing has gone a bit too far. I only say that because Ron asked for my ID last night before we went to bed. It was upsetting I tell ya. I will not discuss the frisking however. I am glad this bogus person has flown the coop. Sorry about the money thing. You guys know that I am retired right? Yama Mama
Skid Posted June 27, 2014 #20 Posted June 27, 2014 If a fake ID is all it takes to get frisk at night I need to clone another Skid. I doubt if Leslie would fall for it. LOL
Yama Mama Posted June 27, 2014 #21 Posted June 27, 2014 Skid here is an idea. Do you still have your handcuffs? That always makes frisking a bit easier. Don't tell Leslie I said that. Yama Mama
Skid Posted June 28, 2014 #22 Posted June 28, 2014 oh yeah, I still got handcuffs and my leg shackles
Yama Mama Posted June 28, 2014 #23 Posted June 28, 2014 oh yeah, I still got handcuffs and my leg shackles Well there you go! You are all set! Yama Mama (the real one)
