These are starting to roll in, at least they all look the same and are easy to spot, what I can't fathom is just what they are after.

Some people respond and they can harvest details apart from anything else (lists of confirmed ie live details - e-mails etc sell for more than just lists)3

On social media they put links for you to go to where they ask you to put card details in. One I looked at signed you up to some sort of subscription.
It winds me up that FB and IG will do nothing about them and when you report them all you get back is that it doesn't go against their community standards. They are very quick to ban us though for following comp rules. I've started going to the scammers profiles or pages and leaving scam alert gifs as at least then it might stop someone from being scammed. I have beeb blocked by one scammer so far
I've seen one company pull their advent today on facebook because of these scammers and it wouldn't surprise me if others don't do the same.4
