Hot on the heels of being cyber raped on fasbok comes this case of a fake kidnapping on the popular book of faces:
My Facebook account was hacked approximately 40hrs ago. I discovered this when I was called by a concerned friend who wanted to confirm that I was being held at gunpoint in London and desperately needed him to wire me cash (via Western Union) so I could escape the country and return to Australia. Of course, I was not in London, and it was not me he was chatting to on Facebook.
Interesting phenomenon. Obviously there needs to be some kind of emergency override for situations like this…
