I subscribe to an email blog from a well-known US photographer who recounted her recent run-in with a Zoom scam (of sorts).

Beware of This Sneaky Podcast Invitation Scam by Dina Litovsky

The gist of it (after she describes the steps and searches she tried to figure out if she was being scammed)

Going back to Google, I put in more precise keywords, “Meta live streaming scam,” and after pages and pages of nothing, I came upon a video of a woman detailing an almost exact same scam that she unfortunately fell prey to. After following the same steps I was given, she was asked to share her screen to help with the instructions and eventually put in her own email into the Users permissions page. The scammers copied the admin link for permissions and clicked on that link first, adding themselves as admins, then locked her out of her page.

I work on a small organic gardening site and one day one of the others who is also logged into the FB page clicked to accept some kind of invitation. I saw a copy of the post so went looking in the settings and found that an individual somewhere in Europe had been added as an administrator by that simple keystroke, and I was able to delete and block him before the gardening site blew up with whatever plans they had for it.

And it just almost happened again, because this scammer in Litovsky's article approaches mid-size sites with the blue check showing you're certified as who you are, and they emailed to do an interview. The only thing that kept them out of the FB page was that we have two-factor authentication and my boss isn't terribly tech savvy so his office manager handles that part of the operation. The scammer scheduled a call back for today and asked my boss if he'd please have an administrator present for the meeting also.

It doesn't take much. If your spidey senses feel even a glimmer of a tickle, don't open that post or click that link.
