My Friend sent me a message on FB messenger. I knew straight away this was not my Friend (it was her profile though). It said my Friend wanted to connect with me, my Friend was already connected and hasn't set up a new Account. Alarm bells rang so I contacted my real Friend to make her aware her Account had been hacked. I played Role Reversal with the Hacker and said "Oh Michelle I'm so sorry I still owe you money", I'm sorry I had forgotten all about it. Knowing I owe nothing to the real Michelle but I wanted to play the Hacker at his own game knowing this is exactly where this conversation would have lead too. I've taken all the Screenshots and now have been asked to send the money via Paypal. I've got their email address. Where can I report this sucker please as I don't want it happening to anyone else. I'm just smarter than them but sadly others aren't.
