This posting is a PSA about Facebook impersonating

THANK YOU to a Facebook Friend!

Earlier today I received an email from Facebook stating that:

"Hi Jim,

One of your Facebook friends reported Jim Follis for pretending to be you. We take these requests seriously, so we'll review the profile and remove it if it goes against our Community Standards. We'll let you know when a decision has been made.

Thanks,
The Facebook Team"

I have yet to hear back from Facebook, but I did get a message via Messenger from a friend, asking if I still had the Lefty Rosenthal, Stardust business card token? I had no idea what he was talking about, but after a phone call, we sorted out that someone on Facebook decided to create a new "Jim Follis" account, impersonating me, and offered a highly valuable casino collectible as an auction item. After 2 bids, a 3rd person noted that that "Jim Follis" was not me, as the Profile was not right.

I believe that I owe that 3rd person my gratitude for being the person to Report the fake account to Facebook. And although it could be a different Facbook Friend that did the good deed, I just want to say THANK YOU! And let others know to be careful.

BTW - That fake account has been removed.

As I belong to several Facebook Groups, as well as my own page, I am curious as to which account the fake appeared on. If anyone here saw it, please let me know.

Imaged here is the Facebook email.
