Recently, the Anti-Fraud project has recorded many cases of fanpages impersonating hospitals to call for donations and charity for seriously ill patients. The tricks of these subjects are very sophisticated:
They copy verbatim the content and images from the official fanpages of major hospitals, then create fake fanpages with similar names and avatars.
After reposting the article calling for support, they left their personal bank account numbers, along with touching content such as "save the baby", "hope the community helps", "really need a miracle"...
Some sites also buy virtual interactions and run ads, making users think it is real information from the hospital.
The ultimate goal: Trick users into transferring money to the scammer's personal account.
HOW TO RECOGNIZE AND AVOID FAKE FANPAGES:
- Always check the fanpage name and the blue tick (if any). Official fanpages often have hundreds of thousands of followers and have been active for a long time.
- Do not transfer money to personal accounts in unclear appeals without verification information from the hospital.
- Visit the hospital's official website to check the appeal information (if any).
- Report the suspected scam fanpage to Facebook and send it to the Anti-Fraud Project for further investigation.
- Absolutely do not share or spread unverified information to avoid unintentionally helping criminals.
If you have ever seen a fanpage suspected of impersonating a hospital or have been scammed in this form, please share the story to warn the community.
Anti-Fraud is working with relevant parties to aggregate and handle fake fanpages. Don't let our kindness become prey for bad guys!
