6. Faked Out On Facebook
We all know about Catfishing these days. It used to be something that was almost unheard of, someone pretending to be someone else on the Internet? Who would do such a thing? Well, all sorts of people, apparently. There are other scams that take it further, though. They take your friend’s profile photo and copy a lot of their information and then start messaging you on Facebook. Of course if you are paying attention you will pick up on this right away, but all a scammer needs is one person that is not on point and they can make a lot of money. What would you do if one of your best friends was messaging you on Facebook saying that they were in trouble and asking for you to PayPal them some money? Well, you would help of course. Too bad you gave your money to a stranger.
