Thieves have found a way to infiltrate the car show community. No it's not the restoration shops or the gas stations or even the government....it's thru Facebook. But they are sneaky, very sneaky. Facebook has lots of protections, I have all the boxes checked on my pages, but they have failed against these thieves.
Here's how it's done. The thief steals info from a real person, with an basic American name and photo on Facebook. Because it's stolen info they can't create an event or become a member of a group page that holds events, But they can comment on an event and that is where they steal your money.
Since they look like someone who might be in charge of the existing show (male and female), they say they still are accepting applications for the upcoming car, truck, and motorcycle show. Then they ask for you to contact them directly for registration info.
DO NOT CONTACT THEM, I REPEAT, DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM IN ANY WAY. The thieves steal your money and you will not be registered for the show. Report the post to the organizer directly by left click on the comment.
There seems to be a rash of these recently. Unfortunately, show organizers have turned off the discussion option so this doesn't happen. The bad side to that method is now no one can ask questions about the event.
A community service announcement.
