Recently, there has been an increase in the number of scam posts on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Common scam posts include:

•Fresh fruit or grocery group buying at extremely low prices
•Clearance sales for iPhones, Nintendo Switchconsoles, or PS5 consoles
•Free products with only shipping fees charged
•Concert ticket purchasing agent services
•Religious or charitable fundraising events

Scam groups often lure people into placing ordersby offering “extremely low prices,” “limited offer discounts,” or “limited supply.”

Before making a purchase, first check:

•Whether the seller’s information is real

•Whether the product price is reasonable

•Whether the payment method is secure
