[pct-l] The ghost FB friend of Susan Alcorn

[Ralph Alcorn]

Susan's Facebook account wasn't hacked, but a month or two ago, someone
tried to create a fake Susan Alcorn Facebook account, using the public
information available on Susan's Facebook account - photos and so forth.
That fake account was only around a few hours before Facebook took it down,
but during that time it had started sending out friend requests to people
on Susan's friend list, which at that time was public. Most of her friends
didn't respond to the fake friend request. If you did, and the profile
image is not a sunrise mountain with a little inset picture of Susan
standing, and she doesn't have 400+ friends, then that account should be
unfriended if you were expecting it to be the author/backpacker Susan
Alcorn. Her account is now much more highly restricted. Her friend list is
not public.
