We got a call from a viewer this morning -- telling Lori that her face was being used to advertise a dating website. He also said he had already contacted Facebook -- and that's where the problems really started.

She got a call from a man claiming to be from Facebook -- and asking to get access to her computer. From there they said they had found the hack -- and wanted 2-hundred dollars to fix it.

She then went to our tech guys -- and found out not only had her picture been stolen -- but the man claiming to be from Facebook -- was also a scammer.
