[Dixielandjazz] Don Robertson

[Beth Schweitzer]

Dear jazz friends,

If you are a facebook friend of Don Robertson, this might be important!

I received a strange message from Don on facebook today and sent him
this email to straighten it out. I'm sure he's been hacked but I think
it's his "new" account that is the more dangerous one. Read below for my
explanation to him.

---------------------------------------------

Here was the suspicious message he sent me:

"Don Robertson

hope all is well with you? I was just wondering if you have heard about
the good news yet?

I am so happy because I got $50,000 cash from the Federal Government
humanity and poverty eradication. They are Helping the
poor,disable,deaf,old,retired and young people with Cash, I wonder if
you get your money yet because I saw your name on the federal Govt list"

And below is the email I sent to Don.

Hi Don,

I just got a new facebook friend request from you and a message that
your old one had been hacked and I should unfriend it immediately, which
I did.

But then you (the new you) sent me a message about finding money and it
started to sound a little strange to me so I thought I would email to
ask you if that was really you. If not - you need to send a message to
your friends that the new Don Robertson (with the same photo!) is not
really you. Maybe update your profile pic with a new image so people see
you are really you or something.

Sorry if I unfriended you unnecessarily. I will send you a new friend
request when I hear back from you.
