I Love You… Send Me Money
This is an age-old story but has a few interesting lessons in it. There is an Army Ranger Airborne Captain – which is most likely legitimate – by the name of Terry Hestilow. The link on his name is his real Facebook account.
For some reason, perhaps his looks or age or both, he has become popular with scammers that duplicate his profile and run love scams on unsuspecting women. These profiles state that Hestilow is single and looking for love.
Some of the women that got involved with these fake profiles sent a lot of money, some in the thousands of dollars. Word started getting back to Hestilow’s wife and that is how they discovered his photos and name were being used in a scam.
Wait until I get to the weird part…
They reported these profiles to Facebook and although Facebook did remove the profiles that had Terry Hestilow’s same exact name, they refused to remove the ones that had variations of his name. They cited that they found “it did not violate their community standards.”
Here is one such profile, stating the name as Michael Hestilow.

There are others. We all have an investment in keeping our good names clean. I mean, heck, we may want to use it sometime as leverage. Poor Terry.
Here is the article with video…
Veteran Finds Facebook Pages Using His Photos to Scam Women
After 40 years of marriage, Terry Hestilow and his wife Becky said they’re happier than ever.
“He’s mine. He’s my man. Has been for a long time,” said Becky.
But according to a Facebook profile using her husband’s pictures, he’s a widow.
Another Facebook page says he’s single, and apparently looking for love elsewhere.

She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge – her brother-in-law – an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink”…

(Hey, I mean, if you’re going to WHORE OUT you may as well WHORE OUT for a good cause. ..
I’M A GIANT WHORE!!!!!!!!!!
I started getting scam fakebook messages from someone who I thought was posing as my Mother-in-Law. They had a brand new account and everything. I reported them as a scammer and fakebook went ahead and verified their identity as being her.
My only question is how in the world did my MIL, who is in her 80s, figure out how to run a fake on line research grant scam scheme? Seemed a little sophisticated for the old bird at this late stage. All this time she has been feigning ignorance of all things digital.
We had corporate training having to do with social media scams, cat fishing, spear fishing, etc.
One slide had a Facebook profile with the photo of a young, cute Asian girl and one guy yells out “Hey, wait a minute. That’s my girlfriend!”
Immediately, two other guys said it was their girlfriend.
The point was made.
Then the three of them spent the next two weeks with HR personnel being reprogrammed after making a potentially racist remark.
All this time she has been feigning ignorance of all things digital.
Well, seeing as how The Villages in Florida has one of the highest STD rates for the mature crowd, then well, I ain’t saying *nothing* about your sainted Mother, or even if she’s a resident there but, apparently they’re into digital *something*…..
😀
(yeah, yeah, that was a long way for an Anal joke”, it’s Friday, sue me.)
I can see the poster now in the main lobby – “How to Run an Internet Love Scam – Wed in the Bingo Room”
Well, that figures– a retired dirtbag I know lives there, can’t say I’m surprised.
This shows how little FakeBook of the Damned cares about good people.
Nothing good happens after Midnight or on social media.
Once again Fakebook shows what a corrupt organization it is. All it cares about is muzzling conservative voices.
I love how the “woke” idiots feel Leftism is about making money.

Illiteracy of the English language isn’t just for the Nairobi Prince based out of Slidell. 😉
Most high school graduates these days
Most college grads these days.
I deal with Project Managers who can barely structure a coherent sentence.
Agreed.
That’s why I let my dog type this reply.
I served with some commissioned officers who wrote like that.
Hm. How about some old AT&T calling cards?
Are they still a thing or do kids just bring their phones to basic to call home?
I had to look it up. 🙂
These days AT&T cards are prepaid minutes for cell phones. A friend’s son just went through Army basic and he was periodically allowed cell phone time.
No shit. My how times change. Though at this point I can only remember like three phone numbers anyway and two of them are mine. 😉
I said basic, but he went through OSUT at Benning so I’m guessing it was a phased in allowance kind of thing.
I’m a Nigerian prince who needs to $3 million out of the country for a dick transplant, so send me your bank I formation…
Daddy said no.
Fook’n ‘ell!! After reading this, there are times(and this is definitely one of them), I’m rather glad my Gov’t job caused me to sign an NDA saying I’m not, haven’t been or ever will be a member of FakeBook, MySpece, etc. *shrug* In this case, ChipNASA can have my share..
Wearing the same VN combat patch as my father, and seems they may have been in country at the same time. Big army, but what are the odds.
In other news: f fake book
Hey, if he had my grandpa’s WWII combat patch, I’d be worried… 😉
I get the scam emails that say they’ll blackmail me because they accessed the camera on my laptop and have video of me choking the chicken while looking at porn. These scammers don’t know old guys like us fill the “Spank Bank” in our heads and don’t need video to do the deed.
If they did access my camera, it would be boring video of me working on accounting & fiancé spreadsheets or watching rebroadcasts of old football games from the 70’s & 80’s. I’d tell those scammers to FOOK OV’
Ditto. All of it. Almost, I’m not that old but *grin*
Still shaking my head in complete disbelief/dismay…
Kudos’ to Captain Hestilow, doom on fook’n FaceBook…
Meanwhile a grassroots political group seeking to unseat a governor has just had their Facebook page permanently banned.

*foomp* ☢️ Nuked… Man, don’cha just love the ever-love’n shit outta FaceBook?!
Der Zuckerfuehrer and his minions are not bashful about which political party they’re biased and beholden to!
Fb should get the Iranian yoga influencer treatment that google/yt got.
Too soon?
Is for the revolution, comrade! Any dissent is “hate speech,” you know.
They won’t ban scammers or kiddie pron, but they’ll drop a warning or ban for posting a picture of a daisy or saying FJB.
But they will ban a legit news photo that won a Pulitzer in 1968 and appeared on the front page of the New York freaking Times as kiddie porn (something oddly karmic about that though…) zuckdaschmuckerburg and his minions truly define new levels of stupidity on a daily basis. Kind of like a certain seagull does every time he opens his mouth on here.
They are the corporate equivalent of The Ministry of Truth disappearing stories and photos that “never happened.”
FecesBook has Community Standards? Who knew? I didn’t. I still don’t.
True story (No Shit! There I was…..).
Fascist Book posted a “Sponsored” ad, and I “Shared” it. What do I know, but a short time later, the post was removed, and I get flagged for posting spam. W-T-F!? No action, but a strongly worded memo from the FascistBook monitors saying that they’re keeping an eye on me.
Unfortunately, you cannot write a comment on a Hammer Ban, only “Agree” or “Disagree”. (of course I “disagreed”)
A few days later, up pops the same ad that I got SWATted for earlier. I wrote a pointed comment to FB on their behavior, and apologized to the sponsor for my comment.
Fuck ’em!
Facistbook… but it’s not Fascism when they do it, of course.
Blackmail is teh raciss, a product of the evil white patriarchy. Had Columbus stayed home milking goats, the hole wold would be a mbitr place.
Don’t do fakebook or ‘putor pr0n. Don’t open emails from anybody that isn’t on my contact lists.
