Okay, so two weeks ago this person under the alias "Catherine" IMed me on yahoo. I saw it had a name I didn't know and wasn't connected, but I figured it was one of my sister's old friends and she had a different name. And it went on and thereon, suggesting I go to a link and get this "free, limited edition macbook" thing, and yeah. Didn't hear from her again (and I obviously didn't do as she said.)
Well, today I just got another IM. Same deal, person saying their name was Catherine and all.
Big difference? It was the email of my best friend, who died two years ago in a car wreck.
I seriously feel like I'm going to vomit, cry, or a combination of both. You have to be sick enough to hack someones email to send computer or credit-destroying bugged links to other people....even when you don't know the connection to the person on the other side of the screen....
I've never been afraid of the wildest fights, not afraid of dying
But now I want off this ride 'cause you're scaring me and I don't like where we're going
Well all i can say is, knowing hackers they dont usually know who the person is. Unless they're targeting that person for some reason and in this case highly doubtful.
w0w that was really really weird and creepy at the same time....hahahaha..i hope that wont happen to me...hahahaha..horror thing happens to all...hahahaha
Honestly, I wouldn't get emotional over it. Bots take over accounts that haven't been used in years. They've done it to people I used to talk to. No one was targeting you or trying to take you down or anything else like that.
Holy (tons of profanity here)
Gives you a hug! i don't care if that wasn't intended to remind you of that or not that's still one heck of a shock to the system.
*hugs* Everything will be all right okay.
(overall) I know it wasn't an intended attack on me (though if I log on again and I get another IM from "Catherine" I might just go mad. Ultimately, even if it were just a friend I knew and they got hacked I'd be pissed beyond all belief.
The fact it was him, though...it really just made me sick. Just like the time my friend claimed I was the reason he died >.> (that was an accidental cruel joke, by the way...he doesn't have much a sense of mind)
*hugs Grace*
Right now I bet your friend is watching over you swearing at the idiots on the computer who did that to you. Your friend is with you always dear. It's all okay. Because of this maybe it's best to block the person as a friend.
