Admins of FB Group Scamming "Small Town Americans" | They. Will. Not. Stop. Clicking...
I’ve shared this with my personal FB group and wanted to share with you all as well.— (ORIGINALLY POSTED 12/16/2021 via LinkedIn.)
I feel like I've gotta stay up all night and day to help people from getting scammed on this annoying local "classified ads" FB group page!
I’m really beginning to think the admin is a scammer themselves!? I might look into this deeper… might be a new scheme “they” came up with that hasn’t been discovered yet…or I haven’t heard of yet, at least.
Step 1. Google small American towns.
2. Locate and identify target small towns.
3. Create FB page for classified ads in said town(because -it’s free and easy to create a FB group with small town name and “classified ads” in the title. And, small town Americans love their classifieds ads and are also probably desperately looking for jobs and freebies and have a pretty healthy sense of community and sense of support especially around the holidays AND are most likely NOT even vaguely familiar with Cybersecurity Awareness and cyber core values…a prime phishing spot for a cyber opportunist…)
4. Maintain administrative control over group. Let it operate as a normal local classified ads FB group.
5. Launch the assault by dropping several phishing posts a day (malicious links included) using psychological lures of free giveaways, shopping deals, “help somebody this Christmas”, and EBT credits, on the naïve community and watch the victims roll in.
Oh! And 6. punish anyone who calls you out for anything
7. NEVER stop the mission at hand. Continue posting (allowing posting) of phishing posts.
They. Will. Not. Stop. Clicking…
Until!… And, I believe this with my whole heart and soul it’s all I think about day and night!…
They understand and TRULY become consciously elevated to the cyber threats at hand. And literally almost measurably jump into a new mental era of human cognition.
It’s real “sci-fi” sounding, I know. But, it’s NEVER going to stop! Thinks about it!
We are headlong-diving deeper into a digital existence.
So why do I feel obligated to help people on this annoying FB page when I could just excuse myself from the group? Look the other way, perhaps?
Because, Cybersecurity Awareness is what I do. And, I love my mission. 🙏
It’s only going to evolve and become more elaborate and more intense and more devious from here.
Cyber criminals are consciously attacking the cyber laymen (no disrespect) and the cyber laymen aren’t even aware they are a target.
It’s aggravating yet SOOOOO very fascinating 🧐.
