LOCAL SCAM ALERT: Fairfax Park Authority Warns Community About Fake Facebook Page
ALEXANDRIA, VA – Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) is warning the community about a Facebook page that uses the FCPA logo and a misspelled version of Fairfax County to friend request and message people telling them that they have won a prize. The recipient is asked to click on the link to claim the prize. THIS IS A SCAM.
If you look closely at the message from the scammer the Facebook page says Fairfax COUNTRY, not County.
“Please be aware that the person is using a logo and photos from FCPA but is NOT affiliated with FCPA or Fairfax County. FCPA and Fairfax County will never friend request you or send you prize information via Facebook message. Please stay alert and do not fall victim to this scam,” says the Fairfax County web page.
