Description

The scammer made up a fake Facebook page portraying a famous musician. My Aunt, who lives in a nursing home liked his page. She commented on a post and "he" told her to private message him. Thinking it was really Josh Turner she messaged him. He said he wanted a donation from her in the form of a gift card. She then told her granddaughter she needed her to take her to Dollar General to get a gift card for a friend. Thinking it was something out of the ordinary, the granddaughter refused. Josh then asked for my Aunts phone number. She gave it to him. He called her over and over and she was convinced it was Josh Turner. She stated to me that " Yes it was really Josh Turner because I know his voice. There were at least eight of these Josh Turner pages that are scammers all are foreigners trying to scam people. I reported them and reported them and Facebook doesn't take them down. There are at least five to every famous person on Facebook. The check beside their name means nothing. My Cousin who actually takes care of FB pages told me none of the stars would actually reach out to an individual because it's against the rules for her to make comments on the pages she hosts for her Nashville musicians.
