I have a page on FB where I display my cakes and people can contact me to place orders. Lately I've been getting a lot of messages from "new Clients' who end up being scammers.
In one instance they send a message that contains links to "Facebook" review group, and it states that my page will be deleted if I don't respond. It's a scam. If you click the link, they are able to take over your device.
In the other, I've gotten a message, and they send me a photo of one of my former orders and ask how much it is (no date, no flavors, no servings mentioned). With this one they want to talk about payment immediately. If you give them your payment information for Zelle, Paypal or Venmo they come back and ask for your email. The next thing you know you have received an email stating that they have a business account and need to 'verify' your account and ask you to send them $290 and they will send it back. Yeah, right. I've gone in and checked out their profiles and in almost all instances they are 'following' a lot of Cakers!!!
Please be careful out there! You should never send money to get money! Report the profiles so that FB can remove them!
It doesn’t seem to matter what social media you’re on. Scammers everywhere. I only go on a few fb pages. Don’t post much on my personal page. My sis-in-law got hacked so many times on fb, she no longer has an account anymore. And the ads….oh my goodness. Just like here on CC. Can’t hardly navigate the site because of the proliferation of ads!!
