Authorities say a Brookville man was victimized by Facebook scammers last Friday.
DuBois State Police say a 67-year-old Brookville man told them that a Facebook friend’s account was hacked. The victim then followed what turned out to be a fraudulent link sent from his Facebook friend’s account and and gave them his cell number. Somehow, the victim’s personal information, including his social security number, was exposed.
Now, investigators say, he did not lose any money; however, his personal information was used as the scammers tried to open a credit card account in Tampa, Florida.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact PSP DuBois at 814-371-4652.
