Hackers take over Chicago woman's Facebook page, post item after item for sale
Imagine getting messages from people saying they're contacting you to buy something you posted for sale, on your Facebook page — except that you never posted any items for sale, and your page was hacked. That was the reality Melissa Whiteman Kingsbury of Chicago. Kingsbury said she received more than 25 calls and 30 text messages in the first hour after her page was hacked, asking if she was really selling items like low-priced cars in great condition. She was not selling any such things, or anything at all. "For me personally, I'm not a big poster of personal information," said Kingsbury. But what was passed off as personal information was appearing all over Kingsbury's Facebook page for her Chicago realty business. One post said Kingsbury was "absolutely thrilled to announce" she had become a "Certified Cryptocurrency Expert," even showing her certificate. Another post said Kingsbury was selling a four-door 2011 Honda Accord SE for $2,300. And another tragically announced her sister-in-law was seriously ill and needed to sell off a number of vehicles and even a piece of farm equipment. The problem was that Kingsbury never wrote any of those posts. Her account was hacked back in May — essentially turning her page, into a Facebook marketplace. "It almost looked like I was an auctioneer at one point, selling all kinds of personal property," Kingsbury said. Then the phone calls and text messages — more than 50 — started coming in. "The one that really scared me is: 'I'm getting ready to Zelle you $5,000. I want to make sure it's you before I send it,'" said Kingsbury. The Chicago realtor, who has more than 2,000 followers on her Facebook page, said the hacker even created a post saying her clients were now finding financial freedom through her investment strategies. Kingsbury said the family whose photo appeared in the post were not even her clients, and yet, the photo was manipulated to show the man of the family holding a sign reading, "We said yes to the address! Thank you Melissa Kingsbury for this success." "They actually edited the home ownership sign with my name on it to make it more believable, for sure," said Kingsbury. Fraud expert Professor Bill Kresse of Governors State University had a warning. "You simply cannot even trust photographs on social media anymore," he said. Kresse said it is common for scammers to target people who have garnered trust within their community and who have lots of Facebook friends. "They can then lock you out of that account, and then approach all of your friends in selling things — even giving a sob story as to why they need money," said Kresse. Kingsbury said she was able to get her personal page back. "I went through Meta. I went through Facebook," she said. "Every little place I could report a problem or give feedback to the company, I did — probably a few times a day." But regaining page access has not been the norm with CBS News Chicago's past reporting, which goes back years. Kingsbury said she is still fighting to get her business page back up and running. When she regained access to her personal page, she posted a message to her friends saying she was locked out of her account — and indeed she is not selling cars, trailers, crypto or investment advice. She warned people to be careful. Some friends responded saying the same thing happened to them. Professor Fraud said the best way to prevent a hacker from gaining access to your Facebook page, is two-factor authentication, where a code can be sent to your phone or email. Kingsbury said she had that in place. CBS News Chicago reached out to Facebook to comment on this story. Facebook said it is looking into Kingsbury's accounts, and will get back to us with a comment. We'll keep you posted.

Kristi Noem said a migrant threatened to kill Trump. Investigators think he was set up
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted a stunning allegation on Wednesday: A undocumented migrant sent a letter threatening to kill President Donald Trump, promising to 'self deport' after the assassination. 'Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars,' Noem wrote in a social media post that included the letter and a picture of the man arrested. DHS also sent out a press release. The story was picked up by multiple news outlets. The president's allies used it to highlight what they see as the dangers of undocumented migrants and the work of the administration to boot them out of the country. The problem: Investigators believe the migrant was a victim of a setup. Law enforcement believes the man, Ramon Morales Reyes, 54, never wrote the letter, which was sent to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office and other law enforcement agencies, several sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Instead, investigators suspect the letter was intended to benefit a separate individual who is currently awaiting trial in a robbery and assault case in which Reyes is a victim. They do not consider the threat to be credible. In investigating the case, agents believe the person may have been involved in sending these letters, claiming to be from Reyes, in an attempt to have Reyes deported before the case could go to trial, sources said. A high-level law enforcement official who was briefed on the case told CNN that law enforcement determined Reyes did not write the letter when they interviewed him regarding the threat. Federal officials asked for a handwriting sample from Reyes and determined his handwriting and the threatening letter didn't match. Further, a source told CNN law enforcement reviewed jail calls made by a person they believe played a role in penning the letters. The source said the person asked about specific addresses, one of which received the letter. 'We are tired of this president messing with us Mexicans,' the letter says, adding later, 'I will self deport myself back to Mexico but not before I use my 30 yard 6 to shoot your precious president in the head,' possibly at a rally. The Milwaukee Police Department told CNN on Thursday it is 'investigating an identity theft and victim intimidation incident related to this incident' but could not provide details as the investigation is ongoing and 'no one has been criminally charged at this time.' Jeffrey J. Altenburg, chief deputy district attorney for the Milwaukee district attorney's office, said in an email the matter is under investigation. CNN has attempted to reach attorneys for each person involved in these cases, including Reyes, who is currently being held in a county jail in Wisconsin. Reyes has not been charged with threatening Trump. The Secret Service referred an inquiry about the alleged threat to DHS. Asked about the arrest and allegations of a threat against the president, a senior Homeland Security official told CNN: 'The investigation into the threat is ongoing. Over the course of the investigation, this individual was determined to be in the country illegally and that he had a criminal record. He will remain in custody.' A spokesperson for the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin told CNN they have 'no charged matter involving this individual,' and declined to comment further. 'Morales entered the U.S. illegally at least nine times between 1998-2005,' DHS said in its original press release on Reyes' arrest. 'His criminal record includes arrests for felony hit and run, criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse modifier.' The department would not comment on whether they still believed Reyes was the author of the letter. The incident comes amid a heightened environment of threats against Trump and officials as well as increased pressure on ICE to ramp up deportation numbers. In her post, Noem wrote that the alleged threat came 'less than two weeks after former FBI Director Comey called for the President's assassination.' (James Comey has denied the post was meant as a threat or at all associated with violence.) 'All politicians and members of the media should take notice of these repeated attempts on President Trump's life and tone down their rhetoric,' the secretary added.

Man admits to attempting to frame migrant accused of threatening Trump, prosecutors say
A Wisconsin man who investigators believe framed an undocumented migrant with threatening to kill President Donald Trump in order to have the immigrant deported has now been charged in the matter. According to state prosecutors, that man, Demetric Scott, admitted to framing the migrant, Ramon Morales-Reyes, whom Scott allegedly stabbed and robbed in 2023 and who was set to testify in the assault case against Scott. In an interview with Milwaukee police investigators, Scott 'admitted that he wrote everything on the letters and envelopes himself,' charging documents say. 'When asked what was going through his head at the time of writing the letters, the defendant stated 'Freedom.'' CNN has reached out to Scott's attorney for comment. A court hearing has been scheduled for later Tuesday. That legal action against Scott, however, could be too late for Morales-Reyes, who faces a deportation hearing Wednesday after he was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement – an arrest triggered by the allegedly false letters. Morales-Reyes' immigration attorney, Cain Oulahan, told CNN Tuesday that the alleged confession 'may help a little' in his client's deportation case because it helps show he's not a danger to the community. The arrest was hailed by many Trump allies, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who accused Morales-Reyes of threatening the president even though investigators were already looking into the possibility that he was set up. Noem and DHS have not issued a correction or update on the matter and its press release remains on its website. Asked Tuesday whether it planned to issue an update, DHS sent the same comment to CNN that was issued at the beginning of the case, which states that the investigation into the threat is ongoing and 'over the course of the investigation' Morales-Reyes 'was determined to be in the country illegally and that he had a criminal record. He will remain in custody.' Scott is set to go to trial in the assault and robbery case against him in July, but attorneys for Morales-Reyes are concerned that if their client is deported before then, the case could fall apart. According to prosecutors, Scott coordinated with others to send several letters purporting to be from Morales-Reyes threatening to kill Trump or ICE agents. Jailhouse phone calls previously reported by CNN show how Scott asked others, including his mother, for help sending letters and finding addresses for the local ICE office and for Attorney General Pam Bondi, police records show. During a search of Scott's jail cell, investigators found a blue pen – matching the color of ink used in the letters – as well as a note asking for the attorney general's address and an envelope with the address and phone number for the local ICE office, prosecutors say. Following an interview with police investigators on Friday, Scott allegedly called his mother and told her about his confession. 'The detective was like, 'Well, whatever your plan was, it worked he said, cause he got deported now because we had to go pick him up,'' Scott allegedly said of Morales-Reyes, according to court filings.
