Fake Instagram phishing attempt

Mar 03, 2021,10:49 AM
 

I would like to alert all members of an incident which is pretty unnerving. Someone close to me told me this today.


There is a fake instagram account marauding as the real Fratellowatches. It has an extra T in the word “watch”.

This criminal is looking to lure you in by announcing you won a Hamilton, and asks for your particulars.

If you encounter this, please do not fall for it.

But I didn’t make any purchases on my credit card. “Sorry Sir, there was a transaction made, you called to increase the credit limit, and so we authorized it...”

Hold on a sec... People use the internet to scam people?

Seriously though, thank you for the warning. I did think it was weird when they told me I won the watch but needed my social security number and a date of birth to claim it though....

Possibility

Agreed. I look at Instagram but I don’t post.

Never had a FB account or similar. This forum is as close to a social media account as I get. Thanks for the heads up. CB
