Yes, I have a facebook account. Ordinarily I do not "friend" anyone I don't know. From time to time I will make a connection with a friend of a friend. The day before yesterday I received a most unusual invitation from "Argentina Gebel". It sounded like a fake name to me, I searched it. The photo on the page was extremely suggestive for facebook. It showed a woman from the neck down, lying down. She was wearing a two piece black bathing suit, underwear? I don't know. (no face shown) She had 6 friends and they all looked like teenagers. One of them had the words "Dulles High School" next to her name. There was only one Dulles High School that I could find in Texas.
I went back to her site yesterday. Argentina had 36 friends, some young people and some were "old guys" like me. I decided to write to an administrator at Dulles High School.
Dear Administrator:
I am a 61 year old male English teacher in Sebastopol, California and I may have received a dangerous solicitation from one of your students. The page has a fairly explicit photo for facebook. I think that the page is a fictitious name. When I clicked on the link yesterday this person had only six friends- but one was identified with your school.
When I went back to the site today, she had 38 friends, many older men like me.
The facebook page is under the name of : Argentina Gebel
Here is the link. I think that it is important that you investigate this matter.
(Insert URL here.)
These are three of the name who were original of the six “facebook friends”:
N. H. (names removed for privacy)– Dulles High School (stated as such)
J. L.
S. B
I would appreciate knowing whether my concerns are warranted and that you have taken appropriate action.
I checked a few hours after I sent this email and the page was removed.
Update April 14th
I received an email from the mother of one of the girls on the page. I guess the principal emailed her. She asked if the photo on this page was of her daughter. I would have no way of knowing this. I had thought of saving the photo on my desktop and I am still of two minds about saving it. I would now have a piece of evidence to show the mother. But the photo of a teenager was so sexually suggestive, that I dared not put it on my computer.
I wrote her a description as I remembered it and I have not heard from her since.
