Well it seems it has finally happened to me too.? I have been hacked.? :(??? I am getting reports from friends on two things this morning.? People are getting emails from DonielleBrinkman@yahoo.com (an account that is not mine and has never existed) and also facebook messages from my actual facebook account.??? The claim is that I have been mugged in the United Kingdom and need money.?? One of my friends actually had a live chat with the hacker about this – totally creepy.???? They (apparently) got my facebook password and CHANGED my email address on my facebook account at 4:00 AM this morning and I can’t even log in to facebook right now because someone else has taken it over.? I am working with facebook to secure my account.? I think I just locked my facebook account down so if you get anything from me on facebook after 8:39 AM, let me know.? SO FRUSTRATING!
– UPDATE – okay I think I have fixed this with facebook so let me know if anything happens after 8:57 AM.??? Not sure what I can do about a yahoo account that is NOT mine though.

Oh Doni I am so sorry that really stinks. Hope it all works out
I was pretty sure the email wasn’t from you and whoever hacked your account didn’t do very good research on you. Did they really expect us to believe that you and your 3 kids went to London? Especially without you ever mentioning it. Also they signed the name Donielle and not Doni. I am glad you got things fixed with FB. I keep waiting for my account to get hacked into as it seems almost everyone I know on there has been hacked in some sort of way.
Yeah Ed came and woke me up this morning (I was half awake) and asked if you were traveling and that he’d gotten an email from “you”. He read it to me and I said “It’s a scam”. So sorry you got hacked.
At least you were lost abroad and not selling viagra to everyone you know!
So sorry! Got the email from you as well, but knew right off it was a scam!
I totally would have come to rescue you in the UK!!! I heard there’s a supposed to be a big wedding happening there or something…maybe if we wear big enough hats and tweak our names to Dutchess Donielle Diana Boodleburton and Lady Erin Kathryn Prittlewinkle we can get in! oooooh…wouldn’t there be some pretties to photograph there!! 🙂 ha!
I got it in my “junk” mail box on my email… and didn’t see it until a few minutes ago. I thought it was really weird that you used a yahoo acct AND that you signed it Donielle. I was about to call you though – JUST to make sure. I too would have helped you get home, once I verified it was YOU. Glad I didn’t call you, but checked your website first; because it is 6:30 AM for you and 9:30 for me 🙂 Sorry this happened to you! But glad you are ok 😉 Oh, and yeah… I couldn’t picuture you taking your 3 kids to that madhouse over there either.
