Unusual

Makes you really think twice heh? XLeonie

Some time ago I was googling hot flushes and Tamoxifen and blow me over up came my name and a conversation I had had with Louise about that topic.I thought this was a secure site and you needed a password to get in.I've got nothing to hide but it sure has made me think carefully about what I type.

Must admit I feel better knowing that I was not the only person to fall but can't believe that people would prey on us when we are at a very vunerable stage, not for one moment did I think it was a scam until she said she was 24 and the christmas tree bauble behind her said it was 2000 and the provocative picture would have been appropriate for a playboy magazine.....oh well lesson learnt never let your guard down on the internet but didn't expect it on this web site...no critisism to this site......... just felt really violated as you tend to open your heart up sometimes on here and to think that some low life people are reading it is so sick,sick,sick wish there was some way to protect this site and us from these type of people, if this had happened while I was having chemo I would have been devastated and feeling so low during chemo would have felt it not safe to pour my heart out as we all need to do during that very hard time, hope that this doesn't happen to someone during that time that like me being isolated found this site so fantastic to have it ruined by some thoughtless, self centred brainless excuse for a human being.............ok I am now offically of my soapbox

Hi girls,  Yes I got "caught" as well.  Being a kind hearted person I gave "her" the benefit of the doubt UNTIL the mention of money.  I knew for sure then.  Not everyone in this world is genuine.  We do have to be really careful and go with our gut feelings. XLeonie

Hi Jacqui - yes I got caught out on this one! Being like minded I thought it was genuine UNTIl I got the email (I could have kicked my self sensless!) so I reported it right away and blocked them.............made me very uneasy for a day or two and I kept turning my modem off - to add to this I upgraded my anti-virus, but gee - who'd have seen that coming! x x x cheers Josie

Thanks for your help I just didn't think about it being public and thought that it must be someone that wanted some advice on something or that I may have been able to help her, I will be more careful in the future, it was a silly thing to do on my part.

Regards,

Jacqui

Hi Tonya hope you are enjoying your new home. Yes I have gotten rid of Abbey (the wig) but my hair is so curly at the moment I think I might have to go to the poodle parlour, I never had curly hair before it was slightly wavy but this is so different but am just going with the flow and do it in the morning and don't have to worry about it all day so can't really complain but will be pleased when it gets a bit longer in the front, the back is growing but the front seems way behind..........patience is a virtue unfortunately I don't have much.

Yes I will get rid of this contact ruthbaby it is a worry because of it being on this site I did answer her but I can block her on my emails so it won't be a problem.

Hi Jacqui,  yes, that user has been blocked from the network, so don't respond to her.  The network is public, so it's always a good rule to not give out any personal details (including your email address) to anyone who contacts you by personal message (a genuine user has no need for your email address as they can contact you through the network personal messaging system).

Here's the link to the post on how to deal with spam if you want a refresh: http://www.bcna.org.au/network/groups/54/blog/4735.  Hope that helps, but do ask if you have any questions.
