Here's the gist:
Fraudulent individuals collect log—in information through phishing sites and access Facebook accounts to send inbox or chat messages or to update the person’s profile. And they claim to be stranded in a foreign country and ask friends to send money, usually through a money transfer service.
The scam had previously been perpetrated through emails.
But more cyber criminals are leveraging on social engineering as a means of deceiving users...
Social engineering takes advantage of our natural tendency to trust one another, rather than relying solely on technological means to steal information
Careful guys!
