Title: facebook scam John Duncan friend request
Post by: Lyle Spiegel on August 09, 2022, 06:49:30 AM

Hi all, I've been friends with John Duncan for many years, so thought it was unusual to get a facebook friend request from him. I thought " Maybe John shut down his old FB account and has setup a new one. NOPE!!
It is some scammer who has hacked John and even is using his photo.  The scam is relted to something called "  BFAG". I never heard of that, so I googled it and found out how the scam works. I immeadiately  blocked an other meesages. The fake FB account shows several other folks from SH as  "mutual friends".
Glad I didnt fall for the scm and wanted to alert everyone on SH to be cautious
