DUers': How weird is this and, also, WTF?

I don't do Twitter, but I did signup a couple of years ago. Cut to the chase: "stevedeshazer", a long dead DUer (an Oregonian with the rabbit icon) sent me a tweet a week or so ago. I know that after Steve's death, his daughter posted for a short period. WTF is this scam?

on Facebook I've had two ongoing "friend requests" from dead people, one of whom has been gone for over a year and her daughter really freaked out when she got the same request.

Next Saturday is my last day. But I'm burning some annual leave to do some photo work at Empire Ranch, and I have some command rug dances at the Ranger HQ. But, yes, I am on the Lemmon Rock tonight. August 2, 2014, and the heater has been running since about 3 PM!

I'd hoped to drop by again on another day hike before you departed, but I think I'll be too busy this weekend for a drive up the mountain and a dayhike. It's been comforting to know the fire lookout has been in good hands this summer. Safe travels!

Must be...

Weird I know but I have a social media section of my will, passwords etc so I can be deleted.

There have been a couple of "best of DU" threads in recent months. My fave was the one about the mixed-breed mystery animal.

Thanks Viva. Steve and I were plotting a meet-up, maybe at the lookout tower in the Deschutes NF. So sad. And so FU that I get that "communication."

Hopefully the tweet will turn out to be totally benign.
