Not a scam email enquiry as such, but something that looks suspicious to me:
Haven't posted on here for a while but received a FB friend request from Ros which I accepted - shortly after, I received a message via FB which went something like this before going noticably quiet (despite having been read) - I'm assuming it's a scam?

I Spose the same way they hack into anything...they opened another account with my profile on,and then asked all my friends to friend'me' again ,then sent a message from 'me' about this brilliant money making scheme 😜 Wot probably alerted my pals whas that their English and punctuation was correct ,😳Unlike mine 😄
