You're right, you're probably messaged through the filtering of that scammer about the likes in that particular. They're basically social engineering you to make sure that you're letting your guard down and make you think that they're a legitimate entity and that they'll be able to help you with what they can offer to you at least that's the goal for these scammers when they're doing social engineering, you did the best thing of confronting them head on and calling them out on their bullshit, that way, they know that they're going to be wasting their time on you. I just wished that you did something more interesting to this situation, I mean it's such a golden opportunity for you to waste the time of this scammer and to troll them into thinking that they're almost getting a payday and then you suddenly reveal that it's all a fake, maybe it's just me, I mean I've watched too many KitBoga videos and streams that this is the first that popped into my mind, I just think that it would be really fun.

New scammer  Grin

Face also not real I also found most of the people in social median special of facebook who increase their page and profile with same fake like and followers by bot and try to scamming with people.
this is normal routine now mate for those popular personality/figure that has pages and groups
that those scammers and hackers are checking for those new comer/follower to be the target in their
victimizing .
have this same experience most of the time but my account is full private so when there are incoming messages will go to my archive and my spam , and once I detected then will automatically
goes to my blocking but will report to social media first.
Nice one, but we need be even more cautious because some of the bogus accounts—known as "blue tick" accounts—have verification as well, and people are more likely to fall for their frauds when they see them. I was able to find out about them because I stumbled upon some similar ones.
yes, that blue label in facebook is more important to check before dealing because scammers will
not spend that amount just to scam people and be banned or blocked sooner when reported .
because they can easily be blocked if there are active members to report them.

Social media platforms like Facebook,Twitter,Instagram, telegram and so on has become a home where scam rate is increasing on a daily basis.As crypto users we ought to be guided when dealing with how we like, share and comment on pages that are owned by scammers.Impersonation has always been a strategy used by scammers to scam vulnerables online by faking their identity to that of another person.Op what you did is what I would like to emulate once I notice a scammer in my dm, it's best you let them know that they are scammers because when you look unaware they'll keep persisting but when you are aware they'll also notice that you're aware and they'll backoff.

Recently I encountered this scam attempt on Facebook.

1st - I liked a Facebook page on Facebook, which this Facebook page is a content creator that talks sometimes about Cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin.


actually I am not the type that will like anyone even if I am interested in anyone that I dn't know personally ,  instead what I am doing is saving their site and try visiting and checking them each time for my own safety  and don't wanna flood my social media by various personality that I am not close to.

Be careful everyone, always verify and check. It's difficult to trust anyone on the internet.
why not extend the conversation and pretend to be a possible victim so you can find more about this scammers and maybe to bring them to the authority so they can act accordingly hehe.

Nothing to add up here, almost all messages came from random stranger asking for help, or offering help on social media facebook, twitter X, instagram, etc. are 99% scam. Especially from a profile with trading or investments related content on its timeline.
In OP even it looks like nothing based on its messages but after the block after saying the profile is a scammer is a 100% confirmation that the profile is a scammer. So just be informed.

What I learned, and it’s always helped me, is that you shouldn’t trust anyone you see on social media. Most of the accounts that you see and think belong to influencers or celebrities are fake, the profile picture of the account won’t match the real person operating the account. So when you receive any message on your social media and the message is from someone you don’t know, you have to be very careful when responding, they might just want to scam you.
 
Also, if you receive a message from an influencer person on social media seeking help, just know that the account might be compromised. When you are on social media, don’t trust anything you see.

This is the reason why I don't use to pay any attention to some crypto messages on my Facebook accounts, because scammers know how to use Facebook to deceive people to scam their money by the information they will get from people.

But if you understand how scammers use to operate in other social media, I don't think you will fall into the trap of scammers because they use to start with somethings that you  know that are very hard to achieve from the industry easy ,but they will promise to bring them to you in an easy way, if you can showcase some personal details, which some people will obey to fall victim.

This is the best way to useless scammers in Facebook, because the op know that the person he is chatting with is a scammer and he chose to respond to the scammer in a way the scammer will know that he is in wrong place.

Actually is very hard to indicate scammers in the social media right now more especially in facebook platform, because they have different tricks to come up with once the first one failed probably they will switch over to the oder one. it has gotten to the extend that they can even do video call  with you using the face of that same person they use in their facebook profile at this point you will think that they're real. That is why is very hard to indicate those scammers who are professionals in this scamming Field, so we just need to be extremely careful with those social media platform.

I just noticed that scammers aren't just on Facebook or social media marketing.
It's in most of the important forms you think are legit online.

Just last month, my in-law got scammed out of his salary, like this person couldn't access it until the salary got in and everything was wiped up.
 
I usually do not accept strange friend requests because of the heavy scams on Facebook.
 
And I was also just telling my friend today about someone I know who also posts an account of hers that's always been hacked by someone or someone using her photos to create an account. But there's something so strange about all her posts because, in a very short period of time, she will create another account, asking people to start following the new one, and within some months the account will be gone.

My question is, is it possible for her account to be hacked all the time? Because one needs some requirements to hack an account, how is it possible that your account is always hacked? Because I actually feel she knows about it and just misleads others who are her Facebook friends.

There's no easy way to get money; we all should always ignore it because it's too fast and easy. Or ask questions.

With scammers on Facebook or any social network, you need to act in the same way to fool them, unless, of course, you have time for this and you are not lazy. If they write about some big giveaway that will supposedly bring in a ton of profit, I usually pretend that I believe every letter from them. But in the end, they end up bewildered when they waste their time on me and get nothing in return except a laughing emoji.

But seriously speaking, social networks nowadays exist only for general information, and in no case should you trust all the noise that happens there. Yes, there are a lot of weirdos out there waiting for quick money, and maybe someone will get some cents, but revealing your identity and being a naive fool, I think, is not the fate of those who read this forum.

That's really funny, actually i can't devote my time in chatting with those fools, whenever time i stumbled to there page immediately i discover that i arrived in a wrong page without wasting much of my time i will just block the page or better still i keep ignoring their messages because i wouldn't want to waste my time to listen to those rubbish that comes out from their mouth, however most of them uses charm to manipulate people once you give them the opportunity, this is why i don't always give them the chance to speak.

Facebook and telegram is the scammers den where all these kind scamming messages happened and this has also happened to me, there are time they also used these methods to hacked your account. They would ask your to them your mobile phone number and once you gave them they send your OTP code and they asked you to send it to them then they would use it to hack your account. Social Media is not a friendly place for people and it is very rough and tough so we have to be smart and if not you will be their prey to hunt down.

Facebook is not the only media people are using today to scam online today. But it seems is one of the fastest and easiest way scammers are using to fraud people. It is very important for someone to be safely minded over scammers on Facebook. So many accounts today on Facebook is not a genuine and real account. Some people that post information on Facebook today are not real. So many female and male faces will see today on Facebook are not genuine. Please if you get or see any post about this forum or any other thing you are genuinely involved, please make sure you contact the rightful source to confirm if the information or post you see on Facebook is genuine.

These scammers are aware that we are headed to another bull market phase and a lot of people/and newbie investors are now very interested and looking for investment opportunities in Bitcoin and the cryptos at large, and majority of these people are novies investors, and they are the main target for these scammers because doubt if a legendary Bitcoiner would fall for these tricks just as you were able to spot this particular scammers out.

Yes, I have encountered these types of messages on Facebook and WhatsApp as well. I don't know how they got my WhatsApp number, but they want to force me to join some links. I immediately blocked them instead of wasting time chatting with them. So, we have to be very careful about random offers on social media. There are a lot of scammers around us. From the leaked data, they might contact us and make some greedy offers. We just need to block them immediately to avoid financial losses.

I laughed when I read the messages in the screenshots. What are the chances of a celebrity messaging their followers to “know them” lol. It wouldn’t be long before they start asking you to send money or pay for one on one meeting. There are many people who are gullible enough to fall for these scams hence scammers are always trying their luck with however they can find.

the old-fashioned way scammers always rely on. On the Telegram platform, this happens more often. especially if you join several crypto project groups or channels. You will often get DMs from people on behalf of parts of certain projects. discussing the project until finally offering something related to funds.

Never trust anyone who sends you a message first. offer help or whatever. let alone telling you you won something that you didn't even follow.

OP, thanks for sharing the information. I'm sure this doesn't just happen to you, many experience a similar situation. hopefully, none of us will be trapped.

If that is Facebook, I will not easily to accepts a friend request which I don't knows. Facebook now has changes and many scammers used it to deceives people. If they are not careful, they will gets into the traps and loses their money. Many scammers use Facebook to offers many things to tricks people, including sends a friend request and they will send a chat and pretending that they are our friend but it is not right. We must be careful when using Facebook and always makes sure by search for more information if someone offers something that looks it is good to be true. We are responsible with all of our social media accounts so we can use it with right. Sometimes, they can uses many tricks that we don't knows so that is why we must makes sure first.

it has become a common thing on facebook if we comment or like something, there must be someone who will try to impersonate and invite to join a group or offer something tempting. usually they will offer something that we might be interested in buying or investing in it. that's the reason why always be careful about everything on facebook because there have been many cases of people whose money just disappeared because they trusted these scammers.

A few days ago, an old friend chatted me on WhatsApp, and was asking if I could do him a favor and transfer 100,000 naira, equivalent of $70, into an account, that he's having network issues to do the transfer from were he was. With my experience about online scams, I suspected that my friend's WhatsApp might have been hacked, I immediately called him and he told me to disregard the message, that his WhatsApp is hacked. Scammers are in Facebook, WhatsApp, telegram and the rest of them, so people must try to be informed about their activities.
Suppose a scammer manages to hack someone's accounts on social media accounts, steal a victim's phone, or perform SIM swapping. In that case, he can send such deceptive messages to the account's followers or the victim's contact list, as happened in your friend's WhatsApp story, or by spreading phishing links or sending malicious files, so we cannot believe everything we read, even if they are people in our contacts unless verifying it by calling or meet them if the matter is related to money and one of the important matters. A sudden request for money and a change in how your friend communicates with you will certainly raise suspicions.

Frankly, Facebook is like the rest of the other platforms and communication applications where scammers are active. They impersonate accounts of public figures and promote their traps through advertisements. Therefore, every person must be cautious before taking any action and take enough time for sufficient verification, investigation, and research.

This is never a new scammer or scam strategy. It just old scamming strategy used in a refined way that will make their victim have some little sense on trust in them.
Every just needs to be careful on every social media, the website they visit, and the application they install on their computers because scammers always come up with different concepts just to steal from innocent people.

Thank you so much for your information, though this is not my first time of seen something like this in the social media, this is why I have chosen to limit from most of the social media's platform. more especially this facebook platform because the rate of scammers in this facebook platform is very high, this is why we need to be extremely careful with the kind of group we join, and also we need to be careful with the kind of link we click because most of the scammers have been using that tactics to access our account so we need to be careful with those link so as to protect our account from being hacked by scammers.

Social media is full of scams and ignorant people who refuse to understand this fact are being scammed everyday, some are so naive that they will be scammed more than once before they get the picture that you don't trust total strangers on social media. You have to be careful even when you're chatting with the people that you know on social media because their accounts might be hacked, before giving out any serious information, it is important to leave the conversation and verify whether you are chatting with the right person because their device might have been hacked.

A few days ago, an old friend chatted me on WhatsApp, and was asking if I could do him a favor and transfer 100,000 naira, equivalent of $70, into an account, that he's having network issues to do the transfer from were he was.

The first time you asked him if he was a cheater, he might have ended his discussion here before discussing his cheating issues with you. All the frauds that are done through Facebook, these frauds are usually account related, that is, they use this type of fraud to gain access to Facebook accounts. In this case, fraudsters have some objectives such as if they can access your account because of your information, then they will blackmail you that if you do not pay them a certain amount of money, they will post various negatives on your social account. They may tell you that they will do various misdeeds with your account and you have to take full responsibility for it. When the user is threatened like this, the user must pay the fraudsters anyway. Therefore, it is our responsibility to protect our privacy and we should take it very seriously.

My approach to social media and the internet recently is that if I do not know you in real life or through a mutual friend and receive a DM from you you are automatically profiled as a scammer. And all I have to do is wait to read three of your messages for confirmation and to report, block, or completely ignore. From experience nobody with a large following on any social Media platform will the send you a message first and even when you send them a DM the most likely would not reply. So when an account with a supposedly large following sends me a DM then I know it is obviously you scammer.

An influencer who sends a DM first is definitely a scam, because if they're genuine they won't do that.

In my experience, Facebook has never done this, but X and Telegram platforms often receive DMs where they can help you or win prizes and so we are tempted to claim or send a deposit first.

Now that there are so many scams on social media platforms you have to be careful they have a way to approach it sometimes it's very realistic to believe but it's a trap by scammers.
All incoming DMs especially from people you don't know don't have to be responded to anymore because it's definitely a scammer.

I believe this is only not happening on Facebook but also on other social media platforms also. Which is some scammers impersonating some popular accounts.

Be careful everyone, always verify and check. It's difficult to trust anyone on the internet.
Yes almost all of social medias if you post/react/comment, the next thing youll see is a message from someone related to the topic of the one you posted with. This approach is majority on telegram where if you ask the admin about certain inquiry which involved a problem about funds. Someone will message you posting as admin (fake) those guys are not real admins as they will not pm or chat you even though they got verified account dont trust those cause they will lure you to something bad thats the nightmare if you entertain those.
Definitely scammers, impersonating admin or dev, are everywhere waiting someone whom they can make victim and steal everything from them. Innocent beginner seeking help fall in their trap so easily as they offer them walkthrough/help and loose their funds. Telegram is one of them but you forgot about discord where one can get same approach from the scammer having same username like dev or admin. So one have to be more careful.

On the Facebook, you'd get some notifications from pages you didn't even reacted to that you've been mentioned or reacted to your post.
You'd even get notified that you've earned a fan badge to you'd be required to claim it.
They're all tricks to make you feel valued and honoured while on the logic to redirect your mindset to be scammed as you keep following the page.

On the telegram, you'll see an anonymous disguising to be an admin by creating similar username and copying the profiles of the admin.
So when a follower asks questions related to crypto currency, they're the ones to send you a dm pretending to be the admin and your inability to differentiate the similar profiles could cause one dancing to the scammers terrain of the scammer.
Definitely all the social media platforms are being flooded with scammers.

No social media is entirely free from scammers but Facebook is the least media I can think of this type of things happening. Telegram and Twitter is the father of all. It's very easy to identify real accounts and impersonating accounts but due to some circumstances some time we pay less attention to the profile details until the unexpected happen.

I like how the media platforms are trying their best to limit cases like this by offering account verification to prove the real ownership of the accounts. The issue is too rampant in telegram and you will hardly see account with verification badge. Although, most Telegram Admins use to indicate behind their names that they will never dm you first, I wonder how people listen to those who massaged them first pretending as if they want to help.

It has become things of past where we come online to have fun and make new friends, now it's dangerous to welcome and entertain strangers online as they are looking to take advantage of you in whatever way possible. Sadly, you can tell who's genuine and who's pretending. Countless of unopened messages in my inbox now but I don't care to open them. If I don't know you, we'll have a limited conversation.

This is normal in a lot of social media. There are too many imposters in all of the internet and they're just waiting for their prey to bite the bait. While that social media personality might be a real one, there are scammers and imposters that are waiting for some likes of that page and try to look out the likes of his posts.

While in telegram, after you join a group or channel, for sure that there will be scammers that will also try to deal with you. Not just that, you will also be automatically added to a group that they organize.

So, be careful to any platform and social media you use because they are there. This is the full time job that they've been doing.

Recently I encountered this scam attempt on Facebook.

1st - I liked a Facebook page on Facebook, which this Facebook page is a content creator that talks sometimes about Cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin.

2nd - After some hours, there was already a Facebook account that added me as a friend and messaged me - which is kinda impersonating the facebook page account that I just recently liked.
I don't know this scam type on Facebook but on X, it is popular with many impersonating accounts.

After you follow an influencer's account on X, immediately or some hours later, there are one or some impersonating accounts will follow you. If you are careless, you might confuse between real and fake accounts and you will be scammed. They run impersonating accounts only to find victims and steal money.

Usually some basics to check like total followers, age of account will be enough to differentiate real and impersonating accounts.

Like seriously, are you saying this ends with Facebook only? Because your warning advice should point at every social media platforms in the world today, no one is save from scammers trying so hard to scam someone.

I always expect so less from strangers as a person, if you PM me first I always have this weird feeling why you decide to contact, most of the time it is not always a good thing, people even family members will take advantage of you this days, its so sad.

You should get used to shunning strangers off your space, because they don't always have your good intent in mind, they are there to use you, or even rob you your hard earned money, since I've been in this crypto space, no stranger have ever helped me, the few that did are friends on this forum.

Impersonation of project teams and social mangers are very common online, be on the look out, every first PM is 90% likely a scam attempt.

Be careful everyone, always verify and check. It's difficult to trust anyone on the internet.
Facebook is field with lot's of people that aren't real. The rate of impersonation that's happening in Facebook is increasing at an alarming rate and all of those are geared towards scamming gullible minds. I've had series of cases when I get messages and friends requests from strangers I have no connection or mutual friends with and I just leave it there and don't even bother to accept them. I feel that if you pay attention to them, you will easily know which account is real and which isn't real. I don't know how easy it is for someone to just come up to a stranger and initiate a business with you that involves huge amount of money when he has family members and close friends he could easily get involved with.

Sometimes I just use this mentality of f "too good to be truthful" to guide myself from these people. If what you're bringing to me as an idea is too good to even consider, I just snub you and run too far from you or even block you before you even go further to convince me. And more that this is not just peculiar to Facebook but cuts across all the social media platforms .

I believe this is only not happening on Facebook but also on other social media platforms also. Which is some scammers impersonating some popular accounts.

Be careful everyone, always verify and check. It's difficult to trust anyone on the internet.
Yes almost all of social medias if you post/react/comment, the next thing youll see is a message from someone related to the topic of the one you posted with. This approach is majority on telegram where if you ask the admin about certain inquiry which involved a problem about funds. Someone will message you posting as admin (fake) those guys are not real admins as they will not pm or chat you even though they got verified account dont trust those cause they will lure you to something bad thats the nightmare if you entertain those.
Telegram is the worst likee, I hate it when i ever an issue and such services recommend their telegram group and this is the reason I'm annoyed with Bitget and will always be cautious about any exchanges having their maim support system there.

I see that they don't actually care about their customers because they are taking them to den of scammers to fixed their problem and wonder how many have actually fallen for such scams though while still being aware of it, I hate it because it's annoying speaking with scammers

Thanks OP for alerting us in this community, because scammers are using different strategies to scam users funds on social media these days which it will be difficult for you to trace them to recover your funds back in the community, which is a bad habit to such scammers. I don't use to respond on any cryptocurrency thread on social media either Facebook or Whatsapp for security reason, because I have heard many stories how users have be scam through Facebook cryptocurrency group chat that made them to lose their funds to scammers. Assume you continue doing what they asked you to do in that Facebook cryptocurrency thread, I think they would have succeed in having access to your crypto in your wallet, because they have many things they will be sending to your Facebook to convince you.

Recently I encountered this scam attempt on Facebook.

1st - I liked a Facebook page on Facebook, which this Facebook page is a content creator that talks sometimes about Cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin.



2nd - After some hours, there was already a Facebook account that added me as a friend and messaged me - which is kinda impersonating the facebook page account that I just recently liked.




After this, this impersonator blocked me immediately  Cheesy

Be careful everyone, especially if you are commenting or sending reaction to some post on a Facebook page (I think this is what happened to me)
Because there's no way that you can see the list of accounts that liked the facebook page recently, but on some posts, you can see who commented.

I believe this is only not happening on Facebook but also on other social media platforms also. Which is some scammers impersonating some popular accounts.

Be careful everyone, always verify and check. It's difficult to trust anyone on the internet.
