You know, I’ve got to admit, I’ve known some bright women, in my time, I really have …
And bright women, I’ve noticed, tend to be able to smell rats, from a mile off …
Well, I’ve had another old friend — Maggie — who’s also a former boss get in touch about a chap she’s been introduced to on Facebook, called James Paul.
By another person called Carol Iannella.
From what Maggie told me, the Chief’s* always on the lookout for good causes to promote, as she’s always keen to be helpful: and, seemingly, Carol had been helped out by Mr Paul to the tune of some $30, 000 worth of wedge.
James Paul managed to befriend Maggie, and get chatting her about the work he does.
And asked for her email address …
Maggie was … cautious.
Ex-pub-landlady that she is, part of her automatically does ‘DING’ whenever large sums of cash get a mention.
And goes into overdrive when someone does something like what James Paul does next.
Asked for her email address …
And the associated password …
She immediately did two things.
Messaged me for a second opinion.
And confessed she was smelling a three-week-old, extremely dead rat.
As, while James Paul was pestering her for her login details, she’d down a search on FB for Carol Iannella …
And found Ms Iannella has at least three accounts with differing details, but exactly the same profile picture.
Old campaigner that I am … ?
And never being able to resist the Chief, when she needed a hand … ?
IMMEDIATELY started writing this post, with one aim in mind.
To suggest that, if you’re contacted by either of these two … ?
You block them.
AND report them to Facebook.
I’m thinking that James Paul and Carol Iannella are up to no good.
* Chief is the nickname Maggie ended up with, when she was in charge of the White Horse, back in the day, before it got turned into The Sugar Hut.

Anybody who asks for your password is a pervert and fraudster. I'd like to cut his balls off.
