TRANSPORTATION AND FAKE TRUCKERS
Scammer posing as hot chics on TalkCDL’s Facebook page. Ruthann brought up the recent activity on social media pages. The scam goes like this. A con artist sits behind his computer posing as a very attractive woman. He starts up conversations on blogs that have many truck drivers interacting. He/she asks an unsuspecting trucker if he would like to be friends. Eventually finding a lonely desperate truck driver, the scammer begins his assault. The ultimate goal is to get money sent to him via the desperate lonely trucker. If you are approached on the internet by a very attractive woman, do not fall for it. There has been many men that have fallen prey to these scammers.
