Be Cautious FaceBook Scammers Want Your Sensitive Information!
Dear readers,
First of all, I like to thank all of you who took the time to react on my blog and questions, I am currently going under in work, and I apologize that I did not had the time yet to answer to all your comments and questions.
I will do this the weekend, thank you all for your patience. Today I write you this post as it is important information you need to be aware off, some of you might not be that cautious and get damaged if you act on scammers as I found one today. I thought it was a community member from WA seeing the connection with another WAer.
Beware of FaceBook Messenger Scammers!
Ever been approached by FaceBook people through chat? Be very cautious in whatever you do as there are scammers trying to get your personal data!
I found one just now and it looks like FaceBook already received a scam report as the profile page is unavailable now. I blocked the scammer and the chat to this person as well flagging for possible scam.
The possible scammer is trying to lure you into a chat and offering you free money. Well we all know by now that nothing comes for free. When trying to ask for more information about the persons company, website, the scammer will ignore it and come with evading answers that you just need to give him your data to take it from there.
Never Ever do this, do not fall for it!!!! If you do not receive more information, it is not serious and even if you receive information, first do your research online to find out more about this.
It is very unlikely anyone offers you money, no company in the world just gives money away like that!!!
You can identify scammers on:
- bad English
- evading questions
- offering free money
- pressure to give in

From here on you know it is a Scammer trying to get your personal info. Flag the chat and block the person, help protecting others against fraudulent people like these.
I hope this blog will help you all to be cautious when you are on social media, many dangers are luring, always be cautious and do research if you plan to communicate with so called persons offering you anything for free.
Take care everyone and be safe!
