Come Out, Come Out, Whoever you Are!

I know I'm not one to panic (you all know that is a big fat lie), but this blog is about to go private (I heard that gasp!) after reading this:

...rumors have been circulating rapidly via social media posts since July 2013, a sinister group of Russian criminals are posing as door-to-door book sellers in various US locations with the intention of finding out which houses have children suitable for later abduction and human trafficking. 


It just so happens, I had a little foreign visitor over the summer, trying to sell me books (I just can't trust a book salesman ;)  So, clearly, when I saw this on my Blog Visitors:

09:11:22 -- 30 minutes ago

Moscow, Moscow City arrived on "Wilhelmsen Par 5".

04:33:38 -- 5 hours 8 mins ago

Wenatchee, Washington left via ayearoffhe.blogspot.com from "Wilhelmsen Par 5: Sundays Are Special!"

23:11:10 -- 10 hours 30 mins ago

Wenatchee, Washington left via ayearoffhe.blogspot.com from "Wilhelmsen Par 5: Sundays Are Special!"

23:08:17 -- 10 hours 33 mins ago

Wenatchee, Washington arrived on "Wilhelmsen Par 5: Sundays Are Special!".

23:06:59 -- 10 hours 34 mins ago

Idaho Falls, Idaho arrived on "Wilhelmsen Par 5".

22:10:12 -- 11 hours 31 mins ago

Russian Federation arrived on "Wilhelmsen Par 5".

19:24:29 -- 14 hours 17 mins ago

..........................................................................

Amsterdam, Noord-Holland arrived on "Wilhelmsen Par 5".

21:16:04 -- 4 days 12 hours ago

I couldn't help but freak out.  Sure, the rumors turned out to be false (so they say...), but who paid who to clear the book sellers?  You know what I'm sayin'?

So,  if you're in Russia (or Amsterdam, Noord-Holland) reading this, please raise your hand--or at least let me know who you are (Please be Lacey, please be Lacey--or someone else I know--and not a villain). 

For my blogger friends, is private the way to go, or not?
