Well it’s safe to say we’d have to cull our friends list after this Facebook blunder.

One Australian woman Chantelle is after falling victim to a robbery – by someone in her own Facebook friends list.

Chantelle from Perth, Australia, was so excited by winning a bet at the Melbourne Cup horse race, that she shared her excitement by posting a snap of her holding the ticket with a grinning selfie.

According to Mashable, the Australian’s celebrations were short lived – after someone used the barcode on the winning ticket to claim the $825 prize.

Writing on her Facebook page, Chantelle wrote:

“To the low life who is obviously my friend on Facebook and used my photo to claim our winnings. You’re a massive d*ck. You ruined my day.”

Speaking to Triple M Sydney radio station, Chantelle said told the station police have tracked where the prize money was claimed. They are now tracing the culprit.

We’re betting on a full-scale war when the truth comes out.

While the radio station compensated her the $20 she originally spent on buying the ticket, it’s safe to say Chantelle probably feels like she’s already paid the price for her mistake.
