A Facebook scam could leave unsuspecting users without money.
A new way to deceive Internet users is as follows. They receive messages from real contacts, friends on the social network. They ask to borrow a certain large amount of money at interest (supposedly they lost their bank card), reporting their data in electronic banking, writes newsbeast.gr.
This is what happened to an unsuspecting woman who willingly sent 1,300 euros to her friend’s account, hoping not only to bail him out, but also to receive the agreed interest. As it turned out later, her friend’s account had been hacked.
Experts warn that after such an appeal by “friends”, passwords on Facebook must be changed without fail, since this is how access data to victims’ accounts is intercepted.
