It's being widely reported that there is a new Workers Comp-related scam happening on Facebook. In this scam, a crook impersonates someone's existing friend on Facebook and, via Messenger, says they spotted the victim's name on a list of people owed money from some kind of Workers Comp fund.
They have you call a number where you talk with an official-sounding person. But at some point, you will be asked to pay a small fee in order to get your big payout..
It's a classic scam, and I suspect most readers of this blog would be unlikely to fall for it. But you may have friends and family who might just be tempted by this fraudulent payday.
