Beware of Facebook Impersonators

A friend of mine is traveling the U.S. on a Triumph motorcycle and posting the day's ride/visit at each destination. It puts me to shame. If she can travel on a motorcycle by herself and post to her blog each evening, I should at least be able to update my blog once a week from the comfort of my own office!

Yes, I realize I should be leading by example while telling my clients to update their social media sites and blog (if they have one) posts often. Ironic that it's easy to instruct people on the importance of consistent messaging, but much more difficult to execute on it. It's no problem for me to update a client's website or social media site, but tough to do for my own purposes.

If you haven't been to my website - www.wickedmktg.com - lately, please feel free to visit and see my new site and logo compliments of Bright Theory. I have partnered with these brilliant and talented associates to build and design my client's professional websites when my own capabilities are stretched. All of my clients receive a discount for their services!

You're probably wondering why I titled this post "Beware of Facebook Impersonators". I wanted to share with you a recent experience I had on Facebook. I received a 'Friend Request' from a person I was already friends with. This particular profile did not have a picture. I asked the friend in question if she had created a new profile. She said it wasn't her.

It looks as though someone may have wanted to gain access to my profile by disguising themselves as someone I am connected with. You can see who I am connected to without having access to my profile. So, if you receive a 'Friend Request' from someone you are already connected to that doesn't have a profile picture, confirm with your friend or quietly ignore the request. It could be someone you don't know who is trying to gain access to your profile.

I hope you all are having or had a great weekend! Please provide feedback regarding the new look of my website and/or my blog! I really enjoy hearing from you!
