Update: 2023-05-30
Description
Facebook users have been warned about a bank-emptying scam on the social platform that targets your morbid curiosity.
The new scam is one of a host of Facebook ploys used by hackers to hijack unknowing users’ accounts and steal their money and data.
Known as the “look who just died” scam, the ploy begins with a hacker who has hijacked someone’s Facebook account and sends a message to their contacts.
The message reads “Look who just died” and includes a link that appears to open a news story about the supposed death. It may include additions such as “So sad” or “I know you know him” to make the target believe the death was a celebrity or someone close.
