(KRON) – The Santa Clara Police Department brought awareness to a romance scheme after a potential scammer attempted to scam someone in the department’s Facebook comments.
On Sunday, Santa Clara PD shared a screenshot of a man who wrote to someone commenting on the department’s page.
The potential scammer said, “I always enjoy what you share here on Facebook, but we’re not friends yet.” He went on it to inform the potential victim that he had requested to be their social media acquaintance multiple times and that he would like someone to “share moments of laughter and good ideas with.”
SCPD responded to this post, calling the message “sketchy,” and also said, “This is a scam free zone. Nice try, but not on our page, and definitely not on our watch.”…
