We recently received this email from Sue M. about a scam she nearly fell for when she tried changing her Facebook account<\/a> password.<\/p>\n

Here’s what she has to say:<\/p>\n

“It all started when my Facebook was hacked. I couldn’t get in to change my password, so I googled Facebook customer service. A number came up, which I foolishly called.\u00a0<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n

I was told to download the Anydesk app. He asked to type in my address, but the screen never came up. I started feeling uncomfortable, so I hung up and uninstalled the app. My question is, has my Samsung android phone been invaded?\u00a0<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n

I got a new credit card number, but I am afraid to use it on my phone. Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your time!!!” – Sue M.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n

Sue was right to uninstall the Anydesk app,<\/a> as this scam has been used before by other Facebook scammers.<\/p>\n

PEDOPHILES ARE USING THE METAVERSE TO LURE UNSUSPECTING CHILDREN, ACCORDING TO POLICE DATA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It has been reported before that scammers will call innocent victims and tell them to install the Anydesk app, just like this one did with Sue.<\/p>\n

Anydesk is a secure app that allows IT experts to work on your computer<\/a> remotely with whatever tech issues you’re having, which would make sense considering Sue was intending to call Facebook for IT help.<\/p>\n

However, scammers will ask you to download this app so that\u00a0they can access your computer or mobile phone to get personal and bank details. Once they have this information from you, there’s no telling how much damage they can do.<\/p>\n
