Farma Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Must be the latest scam. Same thing happened to my wife's friend just under 2 weeks ago. The friend is a senior public servant in a different ministry. Its a close knit group of friends and the scam was quickly stopped before any money changed hands.

Satcommlee Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Yep, this one is growing in popularity, wasn't hacked but a fake profile set up in wife's name with a few photos from facebook and demands to the family to help pay household bills on a dubious payment website.. 15K paid but was stopped in time and refunded..
