Scam alert: Beware this dangerous “moving out of state” Facebook scam

Posted on February 27, 2024

Well, the scammers are working overtime perpetrating yet another new Facebook scam. This one preys on folks who are looking for a good deal on household items.

Unlike the most of the scams that spread on social media, this one seems to be exactly the same in every instance, making it very easy to recognize and avoid.

In a nutshell, the scammer is hacking into legitimate Facebook accounts and posting the following on the hacked accounts’ Timelines. 

Note: The following is a screenshot showing how this scam will look in your Newsfeed.

The above scam post is being spread all over Facebook right now via hacked accounts. If you see it pop up in your Newsfeed you’ll know right away that the account that posted it has been hacked.

Whatever you do, DO NOT contact the “seller” or send them any type of deposit. If you do you’ll never see that money again.
