FG Lockdown Fund Scam: Beware

The 'FG Lockdown Fund' or 'FG Lockdown Funds' message spreading on social media websites and the rest of the internet, is a scam. Therefore, please do not follow the instructions in the fake messages. Online or social media users should not share the messages, they should instead, delete them. And, online users should never give out their personal information or credit card information to suspicious or unknown websites. This is because you do not know who is collecting the information and what they will do with it.

Online users who have already given their credit card information are asked to check their credit card statements for fraudulent or unwanted charges. If there is any, open a dispute with your bank to have your money refunded. And, you may need to cancel the card that was charged and get a new one to prevent further unwanted or fraudulent charges.
