Think with your head and not with your you know what. I heard this message
on the tv show Vikings; and NEVER answer texts from strangers, just ignore
them. It seems worth mentioning that since her last name was
“Gallagher” I just thought it might be a relative of another one of my
Facebook friends who has the same last name. The first name of the scammer
also sounded eerily familiar to the first name of that same Facebook
friend. I feel that name was probably designed on purpose. By the way, the
scammer also sent me a pictures of my face and the inappropriate action I
was performing, some of my Facebook friends, Youtube links, and what looks
to be links that direct me to the Moneygram website that has me fill out
information to send money. On the night this all happened; I blocked her on
Facebook and after I blocked her I looked up her profile on Facebook and it
changed from a picture of a seemingly young woman to a picture of a guy.
She also contacted another one of my Facebook friends. Probably trying to
scam him as well. At the time I am writing this, it looks like she deleted
her Facebook account.
