While waiting for an agent to take my call, I browsed through Facebook to look for their support page. Unfortunately, I found two pages that looked almost exactly alike. The difference was the verified badge on the legitimate page and the About info as shown below. Figure 1 Legitimate bank page on the left, fraudulent page on the right Surprisingly, the fraudulent page even has a chatbot to greet clients before starting a conversation, which makes you believe that you are conversing with the banks legitimate social media page. Figure 2 Fraudulent page chat bot When clicking on any of the two chatbot options, you will receive an automatic response, followed by a question from the other side, as shown below Figure 3 Fraudulent page chat initiation After a little back-and-forth about the fraudulent transaction as shown below, the person on the other end of the line eventually asks if I am enrolled in the bank online banking service, which should be their main target in this scheme. There are however, two directions the conversation will lead If you have an online banking account, the fraudster will ask for your User ID and the last 4 digits of your account. If you dont have an online banking account, the fraudster will ask you to send a picture of the credit card. At this point, I already stopped the conversation since I didnt prepare enough tools to continue with the investigation and opted to report the pageaccount to Facebook so they can block the account and prevent other people from getting scammed.

Here's a structured and organized response to help users avoid falling victim to fraudulent Facebook pages impersonating banks:\n\n---\n\n### Guidance on Avoiding Fraudulent Social Media Pages Impersonating Banks\n\n1. **Verify Official Pages**\n   - **Check for Verification Badges:** Always look for the blue checkmark on Facebook pages, indicating the page is verified. Legitimate banks will have this badge, while fraudulent pages often do not.\n   - **Analyze Page Details:** Review the page's About section and other details for consistency with the bank's official website.\n\n2. **Exercise Caution with Interactions**\n   - **Avoid Sharing Sensitive Information:** Be wary of requests for online banking credentials, credit card details, or personal information. Legitimate banks typically do not ask for such info via social media.\n   - **Recognize Common Tactics:** Fraudulent pages may use chatbots to mimic real interactions. Be cautious of unsolicited requests for sensitive information.\n\n3. **Verify Communication Through Official Channels**\n   - **Call Directly for Assistance:** Use the official customer service hotline from the bank's website to ensure you're speaking with legitimate representatives.\n   - **Be Aware of Protocol:** Legitimate customer service agents may follow up with a call after initial contact via social media. If this doesn't happen, it may indicate a scam.\n\n4. **Protect Your Personal Information**\n   - **Do Not Share Online:** Refrain from sharing account numbers, User IDs, or other personal details online.\n   - **MonitorPrivacy Settings:** Regularly review and tighten privacy settings on social media to limit the visibility of personal information.\n\n5. **Identify Red Flags**\n   - **Look for Page Likes:** Newly created fraudulent pages may have fewer likes. Legitimate pages usually have a substantial following.\n   - **Watch for Poor Grammar or Generic Greetings:** Phishing attempts often include typos or generic messages.\n\n6. **Take Action Against Suspicious Activity**\n   - **Report Fraudulent Pages:** If you encounter a suspicious page, report it to Facebook to prevent others from being scammed.\n   - **Bookmark Official Pages:** Save legitimate bank pages to quickly access them and avoid accidental visits to fake pages.\n\n7. **Seek Help When Necessary**\n   - **Act Quickly if Scammed:** If you suspect fraud, contact your bank immediately to mitigate potential damage.\n   - **Educate Yourself:** Stay informed about phishing tactics and how they operate, but focus on practical steps rather than technical details.\n\nBy following these guidelines, users can enhance their online security and reduce the risk of falling victim to fraudulent activities on social media.\n\n--- \n\nThis response is designed to be clear, concise, and actionable, ensuring users can take practical steps to protect themselves effectively.",
