A person apparently with a catfish (fake) Facebook account sent me a friend request today pretending to be an attractive lady. I accepted the request after vetting the account, though something still felt off.
A little while after, this person sent me a "Hi", and since the person isn't an acquaintance, I chatted with a formal tone.
"She" then said she needed me to vote for her to win a beauty contest and sent the link below [DO NOT CLICK ON IT O!]

My research shows that this link is used in email hacking schemes and I'm posting this here to alert unsuspecting members of the public to be very careful, especially as internet fraudsters are getting more sophisticated every day.

Thanks for sharing

It's sad how much energy some people invest into defrauding their fellow humans...
