Woman loses Facebook business account to person posing as social media influencer
""The buttons that he's telling me to push are not there. I don't use Zoom often so I'm feeling frustrated thinking that I don't know what I'm doing. He's getting frustrated, and he says, 'OK, let's just switch the Zoom call to your phone,'" Stotts said."
""Feel like there was something that popped up on my phone that needed me to accept something, but it wasn't like two-factor authentication," she said."
""As my follower count is going down, theirs is going up. So, in real time I am watching my account get drained," she said."
Laura Stotts created the Diary of Abandonment Facebook page nine years ago to post photographs of abandoned farm homes, neglected historic buildings, ghost towns and cemeteries. She had begun monetizing the page and reached a milestone. A person posing as a social media influencer invited her to be a guest on a Facebook Live and set up a Zoom call. During the call the person instructed Stotts to flip her phone camera, saw account information, and prompted her to accept something. She was removed as administrator, watched 218,000 followers transfer to a new page in real time, and then her page was deleted.
