Worth the read
Yesterday, somebody hacked into Justin's email and facebook accounts. They were pretending to be him and had this tragic story about getting mugged in the UK and needing wired money.
At first, I thought it was just a generic email this person sent out, but we quickly realized that this person was sending personalized responses to everyone that emailed back. And they were also chatting with Justin's friends on facebook. So bazaar.
So Justin's cousin Drew sent us a copy of the conversation that he had with "Justin." It's pretty funny and worth the read:
So here is a conversation on face book that i just had with the nigerian, or wherever he is from, who hacked you account. pretty funny.

funny...scary but funny!
did that really happen? I was laughing my head off reading it.
Josie... it's Katie Jackson from PV. I love reading your blog. This had me rolling! I love it!
I second Katie. Love you cuz!
I think it was worth it for this story.
Seriously hilarious! Nice job Drew! I love it! seriously busting up over here...
oh, that just happened to my friend, too. what a pain.
but def a good read.
that is hillarious! i had the same thing happen to my email account a couple of years ago but didn't have quite as much fun with it.
That totally made my day! So funny! Sad about Justin's account getting hacked, but his cousin is awesome!
That is hilarious!
Those freaking idiots. You should hear Matt CHEW OUT these scammers when they call our house. But that was awesome! I likes the prosthetic leg idea. genius i tellu!
That was a good read....
Genius!!! Why does all the good stuff happen in your family? So, Jealous.
The hacker was talking to me last night on FB pretending to be Justin with the same story! We were playing along with him too. He only wanted $950 from us though. Pretty entertaining I must say. Andy by far had more fun though. lol
This may fall under the top 5 best things that ever happened to me.
That is the funniest thing I have read all week! Thanks Josie!!!
That is crazy! The nerve of some people!
So funny! I'm so naive, I would NOT have caught onto that as fast as Justin's cousin! Timothy+prosthetic leg+corn nuts...what a genius equation.
love it! I'm glad someone played with this guy for a bit. Josh and I couldn't stop laughing over this conversation!
Hi, I'm sorry..I was directed to your blog when I was reading a tutorial (onesie dress) on barefoot in the kitchen's blog...she said she made one for josie, and I thought it was going to be a picture of the dress, not that the link to your name would redirect me to your blog...anyways...just wanted you to know I wasn't blog-stalking...:)
This story is hilarious!! It really hits home for my husband and I. About two months ago the same thing happened to us...and they used the same story. I got the email (about being mugged in the UK) from my husband's account. He's in the USAF and does travel all over the world..so I almost panicked when I read it..until I remembered that he was actually in the US (at work). I tried to go into his account and resend the message telling his friends and family it was a hoax, but they had changed his password...all day my husband and I were receiving calls from the people who got the message...it was very scary!
Thank you for sharing the conversation...they are morons! I wish your cousin had actually been there to get them!! :)
HILARIOUS!!!!
