[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 709298, member: 4152"] I get them now and then and I ignore them. I just had major hacking situation. Someone got a hold of some of our data and has already did some "stuff" on line. I had to take precautions ... I suspect one of my doctor's offices as I've heard of personnel gathering info. from there and selling it, particularly in my area of the country. No matter...I am being extra cautious. I do not have my face in my profile picture on FB, nor my last name. If asked my social security number at a doctor's office, I will either not give it or at the very most, the last four digits only. Bottom line...absolutely positively do not friend a stranger and be extra alert since several came in at the same time and this does seem very strange. Delete! Consider taking some of your personal info. off FB...maybe your birthdate, etc. Unscrupulous sites have been taking profile pictures and matching them up with info and creating identifications...not exactly sure how they might use them, but it certainly can't be for any good.
