Social Caution

Social Media Scams
Over the years, several scams have popped up on Facebook, Instagram and other social networks.

Social media scams are usually cunningly crafted to appear genuine by using official brand logos, stolen content, usernames and photos copied from our social media accounts.

They often include a phishing link in their account information or posts. Clicking on these links sends your personal information to third parties while triggering the share feature to your connections, sometimes sending a message to your social media status.

Once this happens, friends and family might also fall for the scam as they are likely to see the message and link as one of your trusted endorsements.

Imposter Accounts
One way that scammers trick Facebook users is by imitating the email template from Falcon FX, which makes it look like you have an official message from us. Once you click through the email to Falcon FX and enter your login information, the scammers can duplicate your account, hold it for ransom, or begin asking your friends and family for money or information.
