FRAUD: A new scheme on Facebook is sharpening our bank card
A new scam on the social network Facebook, which has been actively spreading in recent weeks, not only carries viruses, but also takes control of our bank account, cyber security experts explain.
Our friends become involuntary accomplices in the fraud, as we receive a message from them with a link inviting us to open it, because in the video in question we have ourselves, Maritsa writes.
“I received such a message on Saturday from a very close friend of mine. They were even about to open it because it didn’t make sense to cheat. At the last moment, however, I gave up. I thought that because of the coronavirus I almost don’t go anywhere, and even less I have recorded videos “, says Iva
Cybersecurity experts explain that such messages contain a virus and it would be a mistake to be tempted to open them. “The link is spread thanks to the irrationality of the person who opened it. So he activates and takes control of his account, starting to send himself to his friends. So, if you have placed ads on Facebook, for example, fraudsters already have access to your bank account – they can place large ads in your name, etc., experts explain.
