Scam on Facebook Social Networking Website

Internet social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook are popular places for people to reconnect. But as more people are logging on to use them, more and more scammers are too.

Facebook has become a hackers' dream. These cyber thieves are using personal information posted on Facebook and pretending to be you looking for cash.

It happened to Rayna Holley Letterman. She now lives in Germany and posted a lot of pictures of her trips around Europe on Facebook. So when her Facebook friends started getting messages from Letterman saying she was robbed and stranded in London and needed money, it wasn't such a far-fetched idea.

"It would be totally possible for us to be in London and get robbed. I was worried some of my Facebook friends would send money to the guy," Letterman said.

One of those friends, Antonio Parkinson got the false distress message asking for money. "[It] looks so legitimate ... I think they are duping people out there and there's a pressure in their approach in getting their money."

Parkinson didn't fall for it, but said the message from the fake Letterman really pulled on the heartstrings.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
