True, I used to get these off-the-wall messages, supposedly from friends of mine on facebook, telling me things like "I am making crazy money using this system," and would give me a link to click on, and I knew none of my friends would've written something like that, especially the one I got that from who at the time, ran a day care center out of her home. I got one one time from someone I went to FSDB with, who was deaf/blind, claiming she or someone who possibly hacked her acount, got a large sum of money from an organization called deafview, and that I should contact them to get mine, and said something about "us lucky deaf people," as part of one of the messages she sent me, which made me wonder, but only gave me someone's aim screen name to contact them about the supposed sum of money, which I never bothered with.
