That IS scary.  I assume they can get much of that off Facebook if Facebook subscribers don't add security to their account and hide named from anyone other than friends.

along the lines of sending money to ukraine, last week we got a call about our grandson being in jail in lima city, peru.  knowing my grandson hasn't got two nickels to rub together and could not be in peru, i suspected a scam.   a few questions and a statement that i would be contacting both his mother and the american embassy led to his calling me a mf and slamming the phone.  i know almost anyone can get our name and address, etc., but how did the scammers know my grandson(different last name) and the relationship, plus not calling his other grandparents, who are financially disabled.  my wife is petrified that they are going to come and break into our house.   keep alert out there!!
