Harriet's Hydra Horses Back In Action
Sharing what to watch out for so it doesn't happen to anyone else
After a rather traumatic week doing battle with FB hackers, Harriet has managed to create a new personal profile (Harriet Jarman) which you will recognise as her new one because she's used her gmail address (the old one was hotmail), and a new business page for Harriet's Hydra Horses.
Sadly, she hasn't been able to retrieve 11 years worth of daily photo uploads of her happy trekkers, or rebuild her 7000 strong fan base.
If you are a fan, please visit her new pages to like and follow her. And if you have any photos (historical documents!) please share them with her. The links I've added in the first paragraph are to her new profiles which are still just numbers ie, https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558988318659, because they are new and she hasn't got enough followers yet, so you know you are on the right pages.
Harriet isn't the only one to have had to deal with this problem and we want to warn people about the link that she inadvertently clicked when she was tired at the end of the day and had the sun in her eyes. Below is a screenshot of the message that Harriet received. If you get one like it DON'T click the link! Notice the mis-spelling of Metateam which is a giveaway.
Not that it's very helpful after the fact, this article describes the exact scam that affected Harriet. See https://cybernews.com/security/facebook-users-targeted-copyright-infringement-scam/ Sadly Facebook were no help at all and just sent her around and around in circles. Pleas for help just encouraged more hackers to come forward. So all Harriet could do, was start again from scratch and chalk it up to experience.
To all our friends and family, please take care and don't fall into the same trap!
Thank you to everyone for their support and sympathy. Regards Kelsey (Harriet's Mum)
