The DeSoto Police Department has issued a warning about a fraudulent Facebook page impersonating the DeSoto Eagles Football team. This rogue page is luring unsuspecting followers with a promise of streaming an upcoming game. They are urging people: "DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK!!!", as reported by the DeSoto Police Department.
Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, but there are telltale signs to watch out for. The illegitimate page mirrors the follower and likes count of the actual team's page in its description. And it should give us pause when a page that was just brought to life today boasts a popularity that takes years to build organically, signaling clear red flags. The DeSoto Police Department outlines, "Take a moment to observe that this page does not have any followers or likes."
Real DeSoto Eagles Football streams are not found just anywhere. According to the DeSoto PD, official streams are only available through approved platforms. If it screams "FREE" and it's not from a recognized source, chances are you're staring down the barrel of a scam. As the DeSoto Police Department wisely reminds us, "Football games will not be streamed on third-party platforms unless the organizers approve them."
