- oh, interesting. Acquaintance’s FB account seems to have been hacked by a scammer who’s asking me for mone #
- yup, that was a scammer. After being hit up for money I asked “When did you last see me?” He blocked all further chat. Alerted abuse at FB. #
- @ben it takes a while to get into the world, but well worth the trouble. Interesting feel of “The Name of the Rose.” in reply to ben #
