I know I will probably look back and laugh but today I got a Facebook message on email from my bio cousin asking if I was OK. I didn't know what she was talking about so I logged into Facebook and found a rude message supposedly from me using four letter words. My cousin rang our uncle to ask him to email me to see if all was OK. I had to explain to them both that someone else must have hacked into my Facebook account (today I went into a video store and used my email and actually have a feeling I didn't log out. Even though I didn't access facebook on that visit, my passwords were the same for email/facebook, I can only assume that is what has happened - I have now changed my Facebook password).
The thing is I'm actually feeling really sick about it at the moment because I have only just got to know them in the last few months (and things have gone well so far).
Has anyone else had problems with Facebook like this? If you saw a disturbing message from one of your biological relatives on facebook and you had only just met them, even if they explained it wasn't them, would you believe them or think "oh dear, what have I got myself into".
As I said above, I am sure I will look back and laugh about it but at the moment I just feel a bit sick about it.
I just needed to get it off my chest.

Cath, Write them that you were hacked. Put a public message on your wall telling everyone anything posted between X and Y or messages sent during the same time were not done by you and if anyone saw them or received a message that clearly was not something you would normally do to let you know and delete the message. What a horrible thing to have happen. Take care,Dickons
oh caths
that really stinks, I hope it doesn't cause any misunderstood problems and you can fix it quick
arrggg
My children pay me off every month NOT to get a facebook page
rofl
I agree with them, and say it's OK I trust you - (buahahahaha not)
but mostly becasue I dont want to get started in it cause I really am that lazy.
I still spy on someone elses account, they should know me better.;)
Thanks everybody,
Momraine and Mommy2Eli, I am relieved to see I am not the only one who has been hacked!
BethVA62, I originally joined Facebook so I could check my new relatives out before meeting them (I sound like a stalker LOL).
Dickons, as soon as I saw the message, I removed it and put a disclaimer message along the lines of "it wasn't me" (which will probably raise more questions than it answers LOL).
My cousin was apparently a bit worried that someone had upset me which is why she let my uncle know (he was my original contact). He emailed me to say that it didn't sound like something I would do (which is sweet).
To be honest, in hindsight, I think it is rather hilarious, my poor cousin probably thought I was one of those psycho adoptees that you read** about! I am having lunch with another cousin today (her sister) who has a great sense of humour and I suspect we will laugh about it. I may have to be known in future as Psycho Cuz.
**I have seen/watched two murder mysteries recently where the adoptee characters turned out to be blackmailing murderers LOL.

Thanks Dickons for last message. The last lunch I had with this cousin, we spent a lot of the time laughing about things so I know it will be OK.
I do think the reason I felt so sick last night was because I already feel a bit insecure in regards to different things, eg my bmother was rather beautiful and though I am not exactly ugly, I really don't live up to her in looks; also the fact that I was a secret - I know I would have done EXACTLY the same thing in her shoes so it is just me being irrational. Of course, I can never tell any of my relatives this, they would probably think I being self-pitying.
