Los Alamos
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
Don’t be too quick to accept that friend request, you could be in for more than you bargain for. One of my social media accounts is public, so anyone can follow me and I’ll usually follow them back. Usually it’s pretty harmless, but if that person immediately messages me, I take it as a huge red flag, and I will examine their account.
