August 8, 2017 - You might think that you are more likely to fall victim to a scam sent through email than through social media. But social media is actually quite effective at luring victims in. That's because social media connections are usually people you know. When a friend reaches out to you with a great deal, you are probably going to be more easily enticed than if you receive an email from a complete stranger. Unfortunately, that friend may actually be an imposter. CBS News recently put together a report on this that we found quite informative. We hope you do too.
