The Central Bank of Samoa issued the warning in a press statement for the general public to be on the lookout for internet organized crime.
“It has been brought to our attention that there are supposedly some people, or well organized criminals, that are using Facebook as a tool to get to your hard earned money,” warns CBS.
CBS says the scams come in the form of get rich quick schemes promising huge amounts of returns if you invest money with them.
“The business models and the products that they promote may be different (and very complicated), but the concept is still the same: invest your money with us, and we will give you a huge return,” says CBS.
“Please be alert and vigilant of these scammers on the social network (like Facebook, twitter, snapchat, instagram and the like),” CBS warns.
