But some are now exploiting this trend by hacking social media accounts and using them to dupe the friends of the users into paying them money.How does this work?It takes place by gaining access to user’s social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, etc. and then sending personal messages to the user’s friends. In these messages, they ask user’s friends for money on pretext of some kind of emergency and provide details where they should send the money. When a person receives such messages, they trust that the message is indeed from their friend in need and they end up sending the money to the provided details without actually verifying if they are not sending it to the wrong person.
