South African motorcyclists are being targeted by cybercriminals in a malicious phishing scam. The criminals are utilising fake news of celebrity deaths to trick users into clicking on suspicious links.
The scam has been posted to various motorcycle groups on Facebook, with one group in particular, Stolen Motorcycles in South Africa, being heavily targeted.
The scam posts revolve around the alleged death of Simon Cowell, with different variants of the scam being posted. Despite users complaining and reporting the content, the criminals have somehow managed to circumvent Facebook Security.
This phishing scam is a serious threat to South African motorcyclists, as clicking on the malicious link can lead to identity theft, financial loss, and other forms of fraud. It is essential that users remain vigilant and not click on any suspicious links. In addition, it is important to report any suspicious posts to Facebook Security, as this will help to protect other users from falling victim to this scam.
Motorcyclists should also be aware of the rampant theft of motorcycles in South Africa and take necessary precautions to protect their property.
