Facebook is a platform to meet and make friends, buy and sell goods and services. It is also a convenient place when searching for any item or topic, and it keeps us up-to-date with news and current affairs. However, because it has become such a hub for everything, Facebook has become a playground for scammers that you need to look out for!
Scams on Facebook happen when scammers create fake accounts so that they can use them to hack into your Facebook account or Pages you have liked. The scammers use these fake accounts for social engineering purposes to trick you into giving them money or personal information.
Scammers also use the platform to impersonate brands and rob unsuspecting people of their hard-earned money.
