Facebook is worse theres so many fake misspelled celebrity pages giving away money and people fall for it like crazy. I see people falling for them all the time it's sad. Tyler Perry had to put out a video that he's not giving away any money.



The Scam calls are people from India and other countries with a heavy accent and they use a basic American name. If the broken english accent doesn't''t give it away then you deserve to be scammed.

Is it really that surprising? Look at all the conspiracy cranks out there these days and the folks being grifted to contribute money to things like ‘stop the steal.’
