'I Thought It Was My Sister': Woman Loses $2,000 To Facebook Scam

Now, you can't even trust your sister on Facebook.

Edythe Schumacher logged onto the social networking site recently and a picture of her sister popped up immediately, inviting her into a Facebook chat. After a bit of small talk, Schumacher’s sister – Susan Palmer – egged her on to apply for a government grant, saying she’d just received one. For an up-front fee of $2,000, Schumacher was assured, she'd get access to up to $500,000.

Schumacher trusted her sister — and lost $2,000.
