Have you heard of this!?

One of my facebook friends has had this happen to her family recently so she posted this to let other know about it. I have NEVER heard of it until now.

Just another reason to be very aware of the info you put out here in the internet!

How horrible!

oh snap! This is where this thread went to! I wondered where it went! Sory for the XP....I unplugged the cable cord and made dinner, then came back and didn't see it where I thought I posted it, so I thought I may have not given it enough time to post when I unpluged the USB cable.

Anyways, it is very informational

I didn't know this even existed!  The whole thing left me shaking my head.  I'm glad they can at least track down the perpetrators in some of the cases. 

Some people have too much time on their hands

Heck I didn't even know you get on the internet through Xbox!  I am not into them, the kids were years ago.

The friend's son bought something while on Xbox, and after that is when it all started happening to them. Last Wed, is when the S.W.A.T. made their appearance at her house! YIKES! I couldn't imagine!

They make prank calls to 911 saying it's a murder suicide issue, the 911 calls in the SWAT team to come to your house, guns all drawn and breaking down your door in one instance ,because of the degree of circumstances. They get your info through the internet or through xbox when you play on line. They caught one kid he ended up with 11yrs in prison.

My friend had the SWAT at her house last week, same thing..her son bought something while playing xbox, the item never came they put a stop payment on through pay pal and after that is when everything went wrong. They also called her sons school and told them he was on his way to school with bombs attached to him..........
