Social media giant Meta has announced a worldwide anti-scam awareness campaign aimed at protecting users from fraudulent schemes during the holiday shopping season.
In another example, the company said its enforcement efforts have removed 15,000 phishing URLs in Vietnam and 9,000 in Singapore this year.
Working with cybersecurity firm Graphika, Meta identified three major scam campaigns targeting holiday shoppers: fake Christmas gift box promotions, fraudulent holiday decoration sales, and counterfeit retail coupons.
Working in several languages, scammers are using sophisticated tactics, including AI-generated voice-overs and fake customer testimonials to lure victims, the company said.
