A New Type Of Online Scam by Freakypinky(f): 6:28pm On Aug 19, 2016
Just giving everyone fair warning . . .

A friend of mine noted that their friends have had their profiles cloned but caught in time - the requests came via Facebook Messenger so you wouldn't notice anything suspicious.

A lot of accounts are being cloned. Your profile picture and your name are used to create a new Facebook account and then they ask your old Facebook friends to add them, your friends think it's you and accept the friend request thinking it's you.

From this moment, these criminals can write what they want under your name with the hope of scamming your friends!! .....
