A Couple of days ago I had a "friend request", it was from a new member apparently called Jessica. I was immediately suspicious, so I sent an email to "Jessica" as I had an idea what was in the offing - I wasn't wrong.
In my email I suggested to "Jessica" that if "Jessica" was here real name she might want to change it to something different online and I asked her for a pic of herself.
Here is her response:
