So I was reading the local paper on the weekend and one of the editors had written a huge story about Internet fraud and security on blogs...

Talk about making you want to go password protected....

It really made me sit up and read....and well to be honest...panic ALOT...

It seems that there have been a few cases of blogger's that draw in a large crowd and then write one day that their spouse has a terminal illness, or has been in a bad accident, the made up illness/incident goes on, via blog land and the blogger explains that they need funding for treatment and requests that donations can be made through a bank account.

The story is totally fabricated and the blog normally has quite a few followers, once donations are made the blogger dies, more donations are received and then the blog comes to an end.....and well thus a new beginning out there in cyber world...and a new story begins....

For some people it's a hobbie and they can run 10-15 blogs at one time.

I do realize that there are people out there who do have real illnesses and terrible accidents and I cant even imagine what the people above are thinking nor even start to wonder how they sleep at night...

So guy's...Please be careful....I'll leave you with words of advice from my Fav Author Dean K ...."Sometimes as in the real world as in your dreams....nothing is quite ...what it seems...."
