I used to be that girl. The smart one. The not-dumb one. Right up to this morning, I think. Then I was looking over (stalking) Facebook on my phone. Because why not? And I saw this link. For Costco cards. (I know. You’re already shaking your head. As you should be.) and this link was connected to other smart people that I know. So I clicked over. It said that I should say something like, “Thanks, Costco” or whatever. So I typed in “I sure hope this isn’t an elaborate spamming hoax” and now my mobile Facebook won’t work.
Um.
But at least I did’t fill out all the forms and information and give the scammers Anything personal. At all. Just my snarky comment. And possibly my FB link. Oh brother. Back when I was smart? Yeah, those were the days.

You’re still smart. You eluded the skunk removal guy / stalker, right? See, dumb girls would be dating him / tied up in his basement by now. And I hate those “YOU HAVE AN E-CARD WAITING FOR YOU!!” cons. I know for a FACT that what few friends I have would never just randomly send me an e-card. They would show up at my house with Diet Coke and peanut butter M & Ms like true friends do.

Was it for the $1000 gift card? I saw that and was pretty sure it was a scam, but I still really wanted to click on it. And I’ve been wondering for days if I should have. Good to know I made the right choice. Now if I could go back and unclick on that Cheesecake Factory one.
