NASSAU, Bahamas — National Security Minister Marvin Dames yesterday warned the public not to give money to people posing as politicians online as police revealed Bahamians have lost more than $100,000 to cyber criminals this year.
Mr Dames said an individual was recently defrauded of $14,000 after they were solicited for a charity by someone purporting to be him on Facebook.
He told reporters outside Cabinet police had uncovered up to 19 fake profiles on the social media platform some months ago, adding the figure was likely much higher now. http://www.tribune242.com/news/2018/aug/22/cyber-criminals-posing-as-public-figures-net/
