I explained to her how to shield her friends list, and I think she did that.

She did something to her laptop and has been offline since last week. I knew she didn't have access to Messenger, because she doesn't know how to access it on her phone. I got a message from her that said 'hi.' Later, I got a message she had bought a new phone, and needed my help to get into her fb account, but needed my number to get a code to send to her. The tone of the message was unlike my sister's usual. I was talking to someone and said I would call her when I could. Got a reply she nedded help asap. Even in texts, we always say please and thanks. So I guessed it wasn't my sister. And it wasn't.
