10.18.19 Scammers are finding it easier to dupe people on internet marketplaces; Clark Stinks

The BBB has issued a new scam warning. Historically, scams have most often come via phone. Now, the most common point of scam contact is on social media. The most common way people have money stolen from them is on social media. The second most common scam point of contact: websites, like Craigslist or eBay. People are more than 5 times more likely to get taken on social media than with a con artist on the phone – 4 times more likely on social vs. through the mail. Beware.
