🔎 Understanding Facebook Scams

Online scams like the Facebook scam exposed by Kurt Knutsson continue to evolve, targeting people with increasingly convincing tricks. Popups claiming your computer is locked or your financial accounts are compromised often pressure victims to act quickly. Scammers may even impersonate government agencies, as in this case with the FTC, to gain trust.

It’s essential to stay calm when encountering urgent demands for personal information. Legitimate organizations will never request financial data through popups or unsolicited calls. If you receive suspicious messages, verify directly with your bank or government agency before responding. Staying informed and cautious helps prevent falling victim to these sophisticated scams.
