Scammers Target Facebook Users With Fake Account

Scammers are trying to trick Isle of Wight Radio listeners with a fake Facebook profile.

Isle of Wight Radio has been inundated with messages from concerned listeners after they were sent a friend request from an account called 'Isle-Of Wight'.

A message is also being sent saying the person has won a 'legitimate prize' which is only available for an hour - which is a scam.

A scam message.

 

The fraudsters are also using the Isle of Wight Radio logo as the profile picture.

This is NOT anything to do with Isle of Wight Radio.

Please DO NOT accept the friend request, or reply to any message from the account.
