Facebook scams come in many shapes and sizes, but the most troubling ones target people who are already in a vulnerable state.
According to a disturbing report this week in the Chicago Tribune, thousands of women across the country were targeted in Facebook postpartum support groups and scammed into sending nude photos and videos to a fake lactation consultant.
According to experts, it's not unusual for scammers to target individuals who are in this kind of vulnerable position.
While this is a heartbreaking and beyond disturbing story, it's also a valuable reminder to never send private information or content to a Facebook user you aren't 100 percent sure of.
Even if they seem trustworthy, you can never be too sure.
