Facebook messengers users should avoid the four-word message scam on the platform. Here are the signs that you need to watch out for.
7News was the first to report that the social messaging app has another case of scam to deal with. Several people complained that there’s a four-word message which reads “look what I found.” Additionally, this scam also contains emojis, so be careful when you encounter this alarming link.
