Facebook Fraud

In Media class today, we saw a video about a woman in Quebec that was tricked into giving money to a hacker pretending to be her cousin in New York. The hacker found the cousin's account on FaceBook and was able to pretend to be the cousin. The woman sent the money at first but soon discovered that the person asking for money was a stranger. Police are teaching that if they get an e-mail or message on a chat site asking for money, to not give them the money. Hopefully people will stop giving people money over the Internet and hackers will give up soon.
