Sweetwater County Sheriff warns of social networking scam

The Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office has received local reports of a social networking scam on Facebook. Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that a prospective victim is contacted on Facebook by someone they have already “friended” who says something happened to his/her old account and asks to be “friended” again.






Officials recommend, as always, that people never provide such information in response to an unsolicited communication.






Facebook’s Press Room website at newsroom.fb.com contains a more information about scams that use social networking.
