Re: No social media is safe
No social media is safe.. because these types of scams are mostly spread through social media sites in the first place. And scammers will find more and more enticing ways to find victims; so the only real solution here is to think realistically and in a non-delusional manner.
"if it's too good to be true, it probably is."
the majority of fraudsters use social media to find their prey because of the tendency of people to have too high expectations on social media without thinking realistically. I quite often get messages from someone who I suspect is a scammer, they seem very friendly, but in the end, someone asks for money and someone asks me to meet.
yes youre right, sometimes they will make us believe that they are good and can give us a good advantage. actually there are many modes used by the fraudsters, if you are new to someone on social media you should never trust someone even though he looks good and considerate.
stay alert and don't be careless about all forms of online fraud, the fraudsters will always think of various ways to cheat. remember that someone we often meet can deceive us especially people we have never met at all.
