This came by way of a (real) mutual friend, so I emailed him asking who the heck she is?

He replied, “Well, yesterday she hit me up for a chat on FB and then wanted to meet meĀ on another site. I did not go! I’m not sure what kind of site it really was!”

Good man! This is a really scary tactic; anybody else running into this, with Sonia Reeves or anyone else?
