INFORMATION SECURITY AND GRC
It is possible to recognize fake social media ads with a few simple steps. When you’ve been reviewing the fake ads that you’ve come across for a while;
- In the form of sponsored advertising,
- Always redirected to a link,
- Contains excessive promises, questionable and meaningless statements, errors in spelling, expression and logic,
- Usernames are clearly impersonating an institution or organization,
- Never appears to be an approved account.
If you accidentally click on a link and are asked to transfer money, do not make the transfer. These traps can appear on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media networks. Caution recommended.
