How to Protect From Social Media Scammers:
YouTube Video "How to Protect From Social Media Scammers"
9 Steps to protect yourself from social media scammers
Even though you’ve secured your Facebook and Instagram accounts with the steps above, you still need to beware of steps you can take to protect yourself from social media scammers.
1) Have strong passwords
Using the same password across multiple platforms will always make you more vulnerable because if one account gets hacked, they all get hacked. Consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords for your social media accounts. A password manager will also help you keep track of all your passwords.
2) Evaluate the source of the link before clicking it
If it is an unknown website or news source, be cautious. Scammers may use phishing links in DMs, emails, posts, or text messages to infect your device with malware or capture your login credentials.
3) Be careful of anyone asking you for money
Even if they claim to be a friend or family member, scammers may use romance scams or impersonate someone you know to trick you into sending them money.
4) Closely evaluate sensational claims
Such as for a cure or treatment, a great prize or gift card, or a job offer that sounds too good to be true. Scammers may use these tactics to lure you into giving them your personal information or paying them a fee.
5) Watch out for posts with poor spelling and grammatical mistakes
These may indicate that the post is not from a legitimate source.
6) Watch out for sparse profiles
Scammers often create sparse profiles to impersonate someone else or to lure you into giving them information. They may use a photo of a celebrity, a friend, or a stranger that they found online. They may also use a name that sounds familiar or appealing. However, if you look closely at their profile, you will notice that they have no other details or activity on their social media.
7) Beware of friend requests from familiar faces you are connected with
These requests may be from scammers who are trying to impersonate your real friends and trick you in some way. Before you accept any friend request, always check the profile and compare it with the one you already have.
8) Limit what you share about yourself online
Scammers may use your personal details, photos, and videos to create fake social media accounts and impersonate you. Scammers can also use this information to steal your identity or access your online accounts.
9) Report fake social media accounts whenever you find them
If you suspect a fake account, report it to the social media platform and warn your friends about it. You can also block or unfriend people who send you suspicious messages or requests.
If you suspect you’re a victim of a social media scammer
If you suspect you’re a victim of a social media scammer, you need to take urgent action immediately. Here are some immediate steps to take:
Secure your account
Immediately change your password to lock potential hackers out. If you’re locked out of your account, contact Facebook’s support immediately to recover it.
