- My Facebook Nightmare | Mark Neely's Blog – 3rd Horizon
It started with a phone call around 7.30pm on Wednesday night, January 14th. A concerned friend was calling from interstate.“Mark, where are you?,” he asked.
“I’m at home. Why?” I replied.
“So you’re not in London?”
“No.”
“And you haven’t been robbed at gunpoint and had your wallet stolen?”
“No! What on Earth are you talking about?”.
“Mark, I am on Facebook right now, talking to you, and you’ve just told me that you’re in London, that you have been robbed, and that you need urgent financial assistance so you can get back to Sydney”.
