CAIN & COMPANY OFFERS CONSULTING SERVICES
AS META SCAMS SOAR.

As businesses increasingly turn to social media to capture the attention of new and existing customers and build their brands, it’s important to be aware of the growing number of scams across platforms, including commonly used Meta (formerly Facebook).

Social media offers the opportunity to share good news about your products and services or employee accomplishments, but it can also pose challenges. By linking up with so many people, it can be difficult to discern which messages received are legitimate. From friend requests to mysterious “hello” messages from strangers, it can be unclear who is actually communicating with you.

While some of these scams are more obvious–offers of a hot investment, shopping deal, or romance–others are more subtle as fraudsters become cleverer. One of the latest Meta scams, for example, appears to come from the platform itself, warning users that their accounts might be shut down due to copyright violations. Appearing to come from Meta Business Support makes the message sound authentic, leading users to click on a link to appeal the violation allegations.

What seems like a logical next step is actually an attempt by the scammer to get login information. Once those details are obtained, the fraudster can pose as the business and post dangerous material, con followers, or even obtain the account holder’s payment information to hack into credit cards or bank accounts.

Because the damages to reputations and finances can be so devastating, it’s important to consider social media management and consulting services with the experts at Cain & Company. While we can’t prevent the illicit activities of fraudsters, we can educate our clients on how to spot them or take measures to shore up account security. As trends in social media keep evolving, we will be by your side to not only guide you to the best methods and platforms to build your brand and spread your message but also to help keep your business safe.

The Scanlan’s wanted their Rockford, Illniois, bar and grill, Scanlan’s, to have its own website. Not only a great place for evening entertainment, but also a perfect lunch spot for the businesses nearby, Scanlan’s, located at 2921 City View Drive in Rockford, opened in 1999 and is a sister bar of Rockford’s Filling Station. They contacted Cain & Company to help with this marketing project. Our team worked with the owners to create a new logo, take photos, and build their website.
