    If its a hack you sshouldnt answer and if its genuine you shouldnt answer. Problem solved. Some people have all the nerve in the world.

    In other news I’ve managed to order Mr SA’s prescription via the NHS app. Now let’s see if it arrives at the chemists.

    I've had a few 'friend requests' from hacked accounts belonging to friends, though I don't remember one asking for money - yet. I think either ignore it or message your sister to say you think she's been hacked. This sort of thing leaves a bad taste. :( 

    Hope the prescription comes through okay.

    I would hazard a guess that your sisters account has been hacked. 

    We have had similar messages on Farcebook from people asking for money who we know would not ask.

    Makes you wonder how some people fall for these scams.

    I agree with others that the FB message appears to be a hack. 

    Good to read that you got your refund. 👍
