The Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (DFI)
has issued an alert concerning social networking scams.
In traditional social networks, con artists use the weekly or
monthly meetings to establish strong bonds through face-to-face contact and
sharing of personal interests and lifestyles.
The DFI points out that con artists can use online social
networks to establish trust and credibility more quickly than traditional
social networking techniques. Also, the con artist can have easier access to
sensitive information of his/her targets.
