SOCIAL MEDIA SCAM
Has your business received a notification recently or maybe multiple warnings through your DM’s or Messenger throughout 2023? You aren’t alone. Scam and hacking attempts are on the rise – if you have an account, you’re vulnerable. These hacking messages look legit, but are anything but. Below is a sample of what they may look like on your end.
Here are a few things to look for when determining if a message is legit:
- Are there typos or misspellings? This is one of the biggest tells that a message is fraudulent
- Is there a link to click on to seek a resolution? This is the hacker’s “in” to your account. NEVER click on the link. This is the bait.
- When in doubt, ask us. We are happy to vet a message for you.
Below is a specific policy message from Facebook regarding Messenger notifications claiming to be from Facebook/Meta.
