Has anyone else had a weird facebook message from an unknown person?

[katemiddletonsothermum]

Someone I don't believe even exists has sent me a message on facebook saying that DH is cheating on me. I think it's a spam, like those emails you get from Nigeria saying you've won twenty million quid if you would only give them your bank details.

I've googled her name, it doesn't exist. I'm convinced it's a fake account and I'll be hacked if I go anywhere near her facebook account.

Has anyone else received strange messages from unknown people? Please answer, before I attack DH with the carving knife.

Loving your 'drunken' message OP!
Has she replied yet?

Op - I sincerely doubt from this message you received that your husband is cheating. It sounds like a fake message especially as it didn't mention him by name. Please don't give any more head space to this hoax and go and enjoy your Christmas and be thankful you have better things to do with your life than this person does!

I'd report her account to Facebook so. 'She' can't spam other people

Oh shit Minibelle - so everyone who has looked at her profile on my behalf is going to be spammed?

SORRY EVERYONE.

Nah. Clicking on a profile can't get you spammed. It's a load of cobblers that.

I don't think you can get spammed from looking at a Facebook page at least I bloody hope not because I definitely looked at it

I agree with the pp who said that she is probably hoping to get business out of you.. Either that or she is a troll.

Good god is all I can say to this thread!
How's your head, OP?!
I hope it all turns out Ok but I wouldn't really engage with this woman anymore. Not sure fake accounts and ranty messages are not going to help.
You trust your husband, that's all that matters really.

Are going to help sorry! I'm not judging btw, I am a bit of a booze hound meself

What a bizarre thing to troll about. I looked too.

Could she have sent it to you by mistake - do you have a common name, if you search your name is there more than one of you on FB?

Definitely not a load of cobblers I can assure you! Not sure if it's the clicking on the profile or opening the message that allows the virus or whatever access.

Minibelle that's bullocks. It is. I work there, the server is secure, this would be massive news if it was possible.

Your friend may have used a dodgy link claiming to be from Facebook in an email, but anything that actually takes place on Facebook is absolutely secure and your account is not at risk.

I'd hazard a guess that your friend gave permissions to one of those "find your most used words" or "which friends are your best" apps though. They often ask for permission to post and once enough people give permission, the app maker sells it on to other people to use to spam profiles.

No she didn't have a message from anyone claiming to be from facebook. She had an inbox from a woman saying that her husband was cheating and then porn was posted from her account with numerous friends being tagged.

She may have put 2+2 together and came up with 5.

Even if that didn't cause the porn to be posted there's obviously someone messaging woman claiming their husband is cheating.

I don't give a fuck if you work for facebook or the queen it doesn't gove you a right to call me a liar.

I've had two messages like this. I received the first one when I was with my boyfriend from uni (let's call him A). Message said something like 'just want you to know A is a creep!'

Second message was a few years later when I was with a different boyfriend, let's call him B. It said 'I think you should know that B isn't being honest with you. If he's been extra nice recently that's the first sign. Just ask him if he knows someone called Anna!'

Both were sent from different accounts, both had only one profile photo and both had been deactivated so I couldn't reply. The one about 'B' probably had some truth behind it, as he turned out to be a serial cheat, although I never found out who Anna was.

Hi Katemiddletonsothermum,
I know this happened a while back but just wanted to know the outcome. I got a message like this a week or so ago and the person couldn't give me any solid facts when asked - I'm wondering if trolls out there exist purely to upset women like this.

Aaand the zombie thread reviver has found another one.

@Celine19 please start your own thread if you need to talk. It isn't fair on the OP to be reviving these old threads that must cause them distress.

I realise you're not serious, but please don't 'joke' about stabbing your spouse with a kitchen knife. Not OK.

On the main point, could well just be random nastiness. There unfortunately are such bastards out there.

@Cheeserton This thread is 4 years old, perhaps read the full thread before you post, or even just simply check the date?

or even just simply check the date?

Clearly hasn't stopped you chipping in...
