They are scammers themselves. Read my conversation with one. This is my new serious chatting with these guys and calling them out.

The FBI recently issued a Public Service Announcement to highlight data security risks linked to foreign-developed mobile applications. Some widely used apps are developed and maintained by companies based outside the United States. Depending on where an app stores or processes data, it may be subject to foreign laws that could allow that country's government access to certain user data.  Data Collection and Security Risks Before installing an app, review what data it requests. If you grant permissions, an app may collect data across your device, not just inside the app or while it is in use. Some apps request access to your contacts to help you invite friends. If you allow it, the developer may collect and store contact details, including information about people who do not use the app. Privacy policies may explain what data is collected and where it is stored, including user prompts. Some apps state that data may be stored on servers in other countries and retained as long as the developer deems necessary. Some offer a local version that may reduce cloud data transfer. Some apps may include malware that collects data beyond what you approved. Avoid unfamiliar websites and third-party app stores; official stores typically scan apps for malicious content, which can reduce (but not eliminate) risk.   Tips to Protect Your Data Practicing good cyber hygiene helps protect your digital identity when using mobile apps. Disable unnecessary data sharing. Download apps only from official app stores and verify the publisher. Use strong, unique passwords and update them regularly. Install device and app updates as soon as they are available. Read the terms of service or end user license agreement before downloading.   Visit FBI.gov to read the full announcement:  Data Security Risks of Using Foreign-Developed Mobile Apps in the United States

Social media platforms are a great way to stay connected, but it is important to protect your security and privacy by limiting the personal and work information you share and controlling who can access your profile. Verify connection requests before accepting, and use each platform’s privacy and security settings to manage who can see your posts. Secure accounts with strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication.

The fake “Lisa Evans” story began less than two years ago and finally came to a head in February. I went along with it for quite some time. The link below leads to the messaging conversation she had. I’ve contacted my local TV station and two stations in Boston in an effort to reach the real Lisa Evans. I asked them to make her aware of the fake Facebook page using her name. I also emailed the youth theatre group where she serves as director and received a read receipt, so I know someone there saw the message. I’m still working on getting confirmation that she’s aware of the situation and on having the Facebook page taken down.
