@ScamSurvivors I think @thefraudguy_uk said it best, recently: "I hunt fraudsters." Sure, we bait 'em up and lures are cast, but we don't "scam them." Scamming implies our intent is to steal their money, which just isn't true. #ScammersSuck#ScamBaiting

I scream, you scream, we all should scream when we spot scams. Word of mouth is the best tool for educating friends and family on how to #BeFraudSmart.
Some Facebook users are being fooled by fake offers from popular brands.
#BeFraudSmart and remember if a deal sounds #2Good2BeTrue, it probably is. Your favorite airline, resort or car dealership isn't going to give away a valuable prize by asking users to "share" a post.
The "Grandparent Scam" is still happening and the fraudsters are getting more brazen going as far as to wear police apparel when picking up the money. No police service will ever demand cash be paid for any service. #DontGetScammed https://t.co/qlrPjTLzDP
