Hello, Lizzie. I haven't seen you on the Mudcat for a while.

I see what you mean about the case of Michelle Chapman. Just when we thought we had seen every kind of falsehood the Internet had to offer, here comes another one.

It was several years ago when my husband told me about people who posted messages to the blackjack poker boards and then took other user names and attacked themselves.

Now Chapman has pretended to be actual people attacking her. Ordinarily this would be simply neurotic, but Chapman was stupid enough to commit libel and to trigger a criminal investigation. Sly isn't smart.

My newspaper had news of further falsehoods today. Thieves have figured out how to make their caller ID simulate the local police department, and they are calling people and dunning them for non-existent parking tickets, hoping to get money or critical information.   

And now there's "swatting..." I don't have time to tell about that. It's probably written up online, however.
