The Judiciary Police (PJ) was recently notified of a fake New Yaohan Facebook page promoting the sale of several items aiming to scam unaware internet users.
After confirming the illicit nature of the page, PJ determined that New Yoahan was not associated with the page and did not sponsor the sale of such items.
The fraudulent Facebook page promotes various products from major brands, including bags, cosmetics, and accessories, and targets Facebook users through advertisements, enticing them to place orders for items by clicking on a fraudulent link.
In a statement, PJ noted that the authenticity of these products is questionable, and that users’ personal data could potentially be stolen if purchases were attempted. This data would no doubt be used for illicit purposes, PJ said.
PJ calls on citizens to carefully read all promoted advertisements that are recommended to users by social media platforms, and for citizens to exercise caution whilst shopping online, so as to better avoid scams. Staff Reporter
