Does your family member have a facebook page? I can see them getting information from that.
Yes, the wife does and we quickly realized Facebook is/was a real possibility. Initially she said that was it, no more Facebook. I said no, post on Facebook what just happened to let others know.
Aside from Free Republic, because all Freepers are trustworthy, I try not to have any online presence that might let people know I am actually Barry Sotero and am actually not an American.
