National Police Alerts Public to Dangerous Social Media 'Like' Scam Promising Money for Engagement

Madrid, Spain - The Spanish National Police has issued a public alert regarding a sophisticated cyber scam that is actively targeting users across various social media platforms. The warning, delivered by a police officer in a recent video, highlights a scheme where individuals are offered monetary compensation for simple tasks, such as liking videos. According to the officer, the scam begins with an enticing offer of employment or quick cash, promising payment for social media engagement. "They offer you money for giving likes to videos published on different platforms," the officer explained. Initially, the scammers may indeed pay small sums, creating a false sense of legitimacy and trust with the victims. However, this is merely a tactic to draw individuals deeper into the fraudulent operation. "Be careful, it's a scam," the officer urged, detailing the escalating risks. Once trust is established, the perpetrators cease payments and begin to exploit the victims' personal information. "They can use your personal data to open bank accounts or ask you to make investments, promising great benefits." The ultimate consequence for those who fall prey to this scam is severe financial loss, including accumulating debts or being unable to recover their invested money. The Policía Nacional advises all social media users to exercise extreme caution when encountering unsolicited job offers or investment opportunities that seem too good to be true. They recommend verifying the legitimacy of such offers and refraining from sharing personal banking details or making investments based on unverified promises.
