The Danger of Being Connected

12/9/2015 and it is the 343th day of 2015.  Palindromic days (the second to last one of 2015) are usually good for me and, frankly, it was a pretty good day at work, and afterwards, but for one small (largish) event.  Just after Noon, my phone exploded in texts, FB messages, and emails.  Someone started an account and tried to portray themselves as my identity in order to collect information on them and maybe even trick them into giving "me" money..... But, luckily, my connections know me and alerted me and we had the Bad FB account gone in about 15 additional minutes....shows the danger of being over-connected and susceptible for these kinds of events.  I am glad I am connected, but connected wisely we all must be.
