A page dedicated to stopping scammers by educating the general public in how these scams work, and how to avoid being scammed

So its been a hot minute since I've been here, but this one grabbed my attention!

What we have here ladies and gents is a low scale attempt at a phishing site. a few things to point out:
1- the painfully obvious part. you don't get notifications via comment/recommendation/or post to your page. These come in notifications straight to your dashboard.

2- The post tries to look official but contains generic language and formatting Meta (Facebook's parent company) would never use publicly.

3- The link is hidden in the comment, not the post. This is done to bypass Facebook’s automated scam detection.

4- looking at the link itself, this originated most likely in Russia. the .ru is the giveaway. Facebook/Meta has no facilities or dealings in Russia.

Overall, if you see these on your page, don't click any links. Simply delete and block.

As Always, Stay Vigilant
