The FBI is warning about virtual kidnapping scams using altered proof-of-life images sourced from public social media to pressure families into ransom payments.

These manipulated photos often contain subtle inconsistencies and are paired with urgency tactics such as timed messages.

Key precautions include establishing family code words, verifying contact with loved ones, and documenting any suspicious images or communication.

I don’t usually post things like this, but it needs to be said:

A vulnerable woman was scammed out of thousands by someone pretending to be Sam Heughan. Her sister wrote to him in desperation. He responded with kindness—and a renewed public warning.

These scams are cruel. The shame is undeserved.

I wrote about it here.

💔 Victims aren’t stupid. They were targeted.
🛡️ Blue checks can be bought now; be cautious.

Seeing a rise in scam accounts on Goodreads and other bookish platforms — new profiles with no reviews, no shared books, and flirty DMs targeting women.

I wrote a PSA about spotting these scammers, with red flags, a laugh, and a few hard truths.

✨ You are not too smart or too seasoned to be targeted. But you can be ready.
