My Instagram account, that I hardly ever use, was hacked this afternoon. I changed the password, friends reported the fraudulent account and then I deleted my account. This afternoon I received an email from a scammer threatening to blackmail me and reveal on social media and via email to my contacts that I had either logged into pornography or that I had been doing unseemly things in our home, more specifically in front of my webcam. None of that is true! I filed an IC3 complaint with the FBI. I know that these criminals send out these things often hoping that someone will take the bait. Now, if someone posts something or sends you something, you know it is fake and not true. I cannot believe that a sixty six year old woman has to write this out, but these are the days in which we live.
