Had someone write me on FB Messenger calling herself Vivian Bernard.? - David - 12-22-2013 09:01 AM
She said she looked through my FB profile and loved all the pretty pictures I have on there and wants to be friends. Gave me an email address of two words @yahoo.in. I looked up what country uses the .in email thing and saw that it's from India. I set up an email address that only will be used for her. Did give her my mobile number (that may have been a goof up) I also went to her FB profile and saw very little in the way of pics,, etc. I'm not accusing this person of being a scammer but, want to protected if this is the case. I've had scammers attempt to scam in the past and when they failed they attempted to send me a virus (that failed) I'm happy to say. If anyone has heard of this person or have any info regarding this person being a known scammer, please let me know.

Known scammers change names weekly. You never answer messages or add people on FB that you have not met in person. There is no legitimate reason why someone randomly messages a stranger

Her email address is from Yahoo India. Her generic message (i like your pretty pictures) is a tip-off that she is not a true "friend". She sends out 10,000 of these messages every day.
