Grace Dumesnil no longer has control of her Facebook account. She believes it was highjacked, and Dumesnil thinks the perpetrator started by hacking her grandson's Facebook in Louisiana, and that eventually got her account.
Little did she know though that the hacker would us her account to victimize more people.
Whoever controls it now made a post claiming Dumesnil was moving and was selling appliances and Rottweiler dogs. Photos were posted on her Facebook of what was on sale. Dumesnil doesn't own any of it, nor is she sure that all exists.
She says eight or nine people have gone to her house to pick up the non-existent items. Some of the people had already paid for those things online with Venmo and PayPal.
Dumesnil said she had to break the news to them, that it was all a scam, someone had stolen her Facebook account, and used it to steal from them.
Law enforcement says what whoever hacked Dumesnil Facebook is committing a felony crime, they admit getting justice will be challenging.
Nederland Police Chief Gary Porter says, "Absolutely it's a crime, and it's a felony, but here's the bad thing about it, we have limited resources to investigate these types of crime, most of them are not even in the country.
But Chief Porter still encourages citizens to report these incidents to police.
