Buyers Beware - New Scammer Tactics

[C.O. Shooter]

Saw this on a PA classified website:

Should reflect Buyers and Sellers!

​

Announcement: Be carful boys, there is a slimy guy snooping around asking if he can send you a "6-didget verification code" to make sure you are a real person before tying to buy what you're selling. He pings your device to show you your own 6-digit google account code. in hopes that you willfully give up your google account with your identity, addresses, credit card numbers, and passwords on it.​

I am starting to like Mideast penalties like cutting hand off. Or Singapore caning.

I just received that verification code right before this post started. It was when I was attempting to log into Facebook. Luckily, I was suspicious and did not respond. Great timing. Thanks.

Or how about an email I got this morning telling me my SS number is being shut down for suspicious activity? There are no risks to these bags of garbage so it is only going to get worse.
