We all manipulate each other from time to time. You'd be surprised how easy it is to do. At least, in real life. Maybe not online.
So, are some of us--uh--better "equipped" to manipulate, or is this an Equal Opportunity Employer? (I have a new bobby...I only ask questions I know the answer to.)
There are times that I get along with SIL quite well, but there are other times, not so. Just like her younger brother. In reality, unless I give my wife the phone, she doesn't even want to talk to this sister. Guess I just wish the family got along better, but that just isn't going to happen. IOW, a whole lot like my family.
Well, had to "Unfriend" the SIL again. Somehow her Facebook picture has been hacked and we were getting messages that aren't from her. I told her that I had to "Unfriend" her and she totally understood. I was sort of shocked that she finally understood something I said/done. LOL If I put a picture online for Throwback Thursday or Flashback Friday, I will have to put it in an IM for her. Then again, I have to do the same thing for my wife's brother, because he no longer looks at his Facebook page.
Most likely what happened is that your SIL’s account was cloned, not hacked. This happens all the time, and it is easy for the scammer to do this, since they do not actually hack into any of your personal information. All the scammer does is start a new facebook account in the same name, copy a few pictures for the facebook account so it looks real, and then they send out Facebook friend requests to all of the people on the original account. Many people will accept the friend request simply because they recognise the name, and then the scammer will start sending personal messages from the fake account. The purpose is to eventually tell people that they have money and get them to send account information for the free money. In the meantime, the original account is the same as always, so unfair ending someone because of the fake account does no good at all, and you lose a friend. We have a neighbor that I get fake facebook friend requests at least once a month, and it is nothing that Jim has done. I just report the fake ones and refuse the friend request, while keeping Jim’s real account as my friend.
Yvonne, the SIL told us to "Unfriend" her, because this has happened to many times to her. We weren't going to "Unfriend" her, until we got a message that wasn't her. After telling her this, she told us "just Unfriend me", so we did. Plus, we were getting "Invites" to groups that she was in, but we didn't want to be.
