Hi Mike, Sorry to hear about your problem.
Somebody has just done something similar to my sister in law using Facebook - they have sent a VERY malicious message through Facebook to all her family and colleagues listed on her Facebook page.
She contacted Police last night but they said they can't do anything because her Facebook account has been hacked?[/QUOTE]
That sounds to me like the police don't want to know/can't be bothered. It's still illegal.
Michael - get the police involved, they will be able to trace it. If there is a suspicion of who it might have come from, a visit from the law even if it is just 'making enquiries', might well 'dissuade' them from any more nonsense
