Facebook scammers \u00a0want to reach as many potential victims as possible in the shortest possible time. The more people they can get to eyeball their fraudulent material the more profitable their scam campaign will likely be.<\/p>\n

To achieve that aim, scammers are increasingly turning to Facebook Live.<\/p>\n

For those that may \u00a0not be aware, Facebook Live<\/a> “lets people, public figures and Pages share live video with their followers and friends on Facebook”. \u00a0After the live broadcast is finished the video will remain on the user’s Facebook \u00a0Page or profile so that fans and friends who missed it can get to see it later on.<\/p>\n

Video is very popular on Facebook right now. Users are often more likely to view and interact with a video than they are with a static post. And, overall, \u00a0video tends to enjoy more reach on the network than other formats. So, scammers are attempting to capitalise on this popularity by presenting their scam posts on Facebook Live.
