I had to respond to this since normally this would never have been allowed on the FML, since it is not about ferrets. I tried to get a similar message through to everyone about a year ago, but it was rejected. I have had this same problem. The FBI does not care about individuals being hacked. Sorry, but they took the report and that was the end of it, no action taken. I have very little faith that this effort on the poster's part will pay off and quite honestly, is this is the same "Debbie" (last name starts with a "G") I know of (in Washington)? This whole thing got started a long time ago between her and one other party. I believed Debbie G. and got involved only to have it escalate to a level where I had to involve the local police. Please, before you people start sending ANYONE your private records from your computer, think twice! Unfortunately, both parties in this case are guilty of one questionable action or another. Both of them are at fault and have tried to involve others into the mix. It has been perpetuated on another list where people just cannot let it go. I am quite sure that my machine has been hacked in the past and I have a very strong suspicion about who did it. However, I am not going to spend a bunch of time (already did) on this issue. The local police did a great job in intervening and prevented me from receiving any more nasty emails or threats. Unfortunately, one of these two parties has continued to needlessly bash me on a newsgroup with a mob mentality, that I don't even post on. Also, this "Debbie" has gone to that list and brought plenty of the problems onto herself. She cannot seem to let bygones be bygones. Some have called her a "troll", whatever that insinuates. I don't see an FBI case number listed nor do I see an FBI agent coming on this list or Debbie posting a person to contact with information. Yes, do install a firewall. Yes, if you believe you are being "hacked", look into it. However, DON'T send information or records to ANYONE except the authorities, directly. IF they are truly investigating this case, they would already have posted the contact information for them or had Debbie post a phone number to call. The only reason I am posting about this is to save all of you the grief that I encountered regarding this situation. BEWARE! BIG - this will be my only post on this non-ferret related subject. Now to the ferret stuff... I believe that Cleo might have a bladder infection and I am taking her to the vet today to see what he suggests. Last night Marley took the Kong toy and stuffed it into daddy's pillow on the bed. Imagine his surprise when he flipped his pillow over to lay down on a Kong! It was pretty funny but I couldn't laugh because at the time, it scared the xxxx out of him! Take care~ [Moderator's note: Several people did indeed question my judgement about letting that original post in. Whether it's to tell me I'm right or wrong, I appreciate the effort that several of you made to write to me about it. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3638]
