Senior Scam of the Week
Facebook Scam
Summary: A Facebook scam in Kern County used fake images of missing children, dogs, and elderly people to deceive users. These posts often aim to collect personal information or trick users into sending money.
Scam Design: Scammers post fabricated images of missing individuals or pets, tugging at emotions to elicit emotional responses. Users were encouraged to share the posts, increasing their reach. Eventually, the original post is replaced with a fraudulent advertisement or a link to a scam.
Takeaways:
Verify Before Sharing: Check the source of the post and confirm with local authorities.
Report Suspicious Posts: Alert Facebook and local law enforcement if you encounter potential scams.
Educate Others: Inform friends and family about the prevalence of these scams to prevent further spread.
