Facebook has been the center of many accounts being hacked and taken over by seemingly nice strangers that appear to be a friend.  If I was chatting with a friend and they started to act strange by asking questions already known or asking/inviting me to participate in Forex or a money scheme I would immediately know someone is impersonating my friend.  Recently, on Instagram I received a friend request from someone I was already friends with.  I accepted the friendship and reached out to my friend to ask if they created a new page.  When it was discovered they didn’t, I immediately reported the fake profile and the profile was deleted.  Had I not suspected or known it was fake, the person could have stolen valuable information.  Fortunately, the person’s who’s profile that was stolen was my ex husband.  After the fake profile was removed, we both had a great laugh; however, we learned a valuable lesson.  It’s important to change your passwords often; and, oftentimes, people create fake profiles from downloading someones’ pictures and replicating their information without ever accessing their personal profile.   Had the intrusion been Facebook, sensitive information could have been stolen.  Therefore, we both decided we would no longer share updated information about our whereabouts, locations and family vacation pictures.

Evidence that the file is malicious
