Is the true scam a means to obtain your bank account number or credit card information? They would then empty your bank account or use your credit card to purchase items more than $300.

I do not use Facebook for groups in the Villages. A friend of mine ended up with an uncomfortable stalking situation. (looking for a romance type) The stalker was at every meeting or social event when not a member of the club. Finally realized it was the Facebook page. Stopped using it, stalker problem disappeared.
