This morning as I got out of bed I looked at my emails to see if anything needed my attention. One caught my eye, the title was “Terrible misfortune”. Apparently, someone I have never heard of was robbed while on a trip to Europe with his family. The email goes on to say how he now has no money and needs my help! Obviously, this is a fishing email hoping to scam me out of money. Usually, they come from someone you know so it at least looks somewhat legit. So I was curious to see if I could find the link between me and the person. First I looked a Facebook and three profiles with that name came up two looked legit, one was in a foreign language the third was a picture of Tom Cruise with no information. Second I googled the name to find one person in the state of Colorado who lives too far away to be associated with me. He did, however, go on mission trips from 2005 through 2015 and had a father in law pass away. Thinking this through I found more information than probably this person wants anyone to know but I also learned that he might be a twin of Tom Cruise. It is amazing to me the amount of information and disinformation on the internet. The old saying that there are lies and damn lies and statistics, should be changed to, lies, damn lies and the internet! Be careful out there!
