As Christmas draws even closer, cybercriminals are becoming more
creative in drawing up scams targeting users of social networking giant
Facebook.
One of the latest scams involves a supposed offer of 250 Samsung 65-inch Ultra 4k HD curved TVs, Online Threat Alerts reported.
"The scam will attempt to trick you into commenting on,liking it,
sharing it and completing surveys, by claiming that you have a chance of
receiving one of the 250 Samsung 65" Ultra 4K HD Curved TVs that are
being given away," it said.
While the scam is
not associated with the companies supposedly offering to give away the
curved TVs, it is meant to get Facebook users to like, share or comment
on the post.
Such actions could spread the scam and bait more potential victims.
Users who fall for the scam are asked to complete surveys where the scammers will get a commission.
"If you receive the same post on your Facebook Wall or Timeline, please report it as spam and then delete it," the site advised. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
