✨ Just a little friendly reminder ✨
* please read this and share it wide!
please comment, even just a smiley face 🙂 that boosts this post so more people see it 🕺
Its scary whats happening online and we need to be aware…read on my friends 🧡
If you haven’t already,
I’d love you to pop your email my way
so I can add you to my Substack.
That way, if Facebook ever has one of its mysterious meltdowns and this page disappears into the void,
I can still send you a cute little email
so you can find me again 🥲
I’ve had more issues with my page lately and honestly, I’m preparing for the worst. It’s highly possible that one day this whole page could just vanish, and if it does, I don’t want to lose you ♥️
Substack is the safest way I’ve found to collect emails
(I researched this for weeks!).
You don’t need to “subscribe” or read anything if you don’t want to.
Just click the link, drop your email,
and I’ll keep it tucked away safely,
only to use if I ever lose you here.

People are getting really crafty
at trying to pinch FB accounts
with bigger followings.
It sucks that I spend so much time protecting my page, even with a verified personal account, but that’s the reality. I’m even in the process of hiring someone to help me untangle the Meta backend maze just to protect myself.
A few months ago I nearly got caught in what looked like a dream opportunity. I was contacted by what looked like the admin team of a podcast connected to a big FB page I admire. They asked me to do an interview about op shops, and the questions they sent through were so thoughtful, I was genuinely excited. We spent weeks chatting, and then we set up a Zoom meeting.
Now I properly vet emails like this mind you, I get A LOT of emails asking for interviews and podcasts, most of them go right to my bin box, some I read and others I might decide to act on.
This one in particular looked so good, it was legit looking too, I scanned the email addressess and ran it by friends and through AI to check - it was, really real!!!
I'm careful - is what I'm saying.
After weeks of emailing the admin team, we set up a zoom to go over how the interview would unfold and how to set it up.
At first it felt legit, but then they started trying to walk me through the backend of my Meta Business Suite.
My gut screamed nope.
I told them I wanted time to research the process they were trying to get me to do, and I ended the Zoom 🕺
(thankfully we hadn’t screen-shared yet), I blocked them straight after and instantly changed my passwords.
I was super bummed because I thought I had just thrown away a super awesome opportunity.
But it felt wrong 🤘
I messaged the Author they claimed to work with, she is huge, 2 million followers and I was not expecting a reply but she did 🥰 she confirmed they weren’t on her team.
It was a full-blown scam 🤯
That moment made me feel sick. These guys were basically in my bedroom with me through that call, and it rattled me. This is the extent people will go to in order to take over accounts like mine.
This is on top of the huge scare I had a few months back where we actually DID lose our Awamoa page! It just disappeared 💨
And She Hunts was compromised, people got into my account and embedded their emails and took it over,
that NEVER got fully resolved 🫤
So yes, I’m trying to stay calm.
This page means the world to me.
I love the community we’ve built here
so much 🥹
But I also have to leave space
for the brutal truth:
it could disappear one day,
and I need to make peace with that 🧡
That’s why I’ve set up my Substack
as a backup lifeline.
If you want to stay connected,
drop your email there.
I’ll keep it safe, and I’ll only ever use it if I need to show you where to find me again.

And remember...
✨ don’t w***y nilly click on links
✨ don’t open emails that look sus
✨ don’t accept friend requests without checking the profile
✨ being online requires a keen eye and batman skills 🦇
✨ change your passwords more often than you change your sheets
✨ set up two-factor authentication
(annoying, yes — but worth it)
✨ never hand over your login to someone who
“just needs to check something”
✨ Meta won’t randomly DM you — if they do, it’s not real
✨ take screenshots — receipts are gold
✨ trust your gut: if it feels ick, it is ick
All my love,
Anna 💛
STAY SAFE OUT THERE ✨
ITS A JUNGLE 🌿
