BREAKING: Fake MSU Instagram account targeting students
Students warned of fake MSU Instagram account sending messages with a suspicious link
On Saturday, Sept. 14, the McMaster Students Union announced on Instagram that a fake account had been established and was sending messages to students.
The fraudulent account, operating under the handle “@msu.mcmaster,” has been reaching out to students and encouraging them to click on a link, according to the MSU.
In the fake account's bio, it falsely claims to be a second account of the MSU. It also falsely claims that its purpose is for "the selection of winners."
The MSU is encouraging students to not engage with the account, to not click on any links it sends and to report it to Instagram.
"Do not engage with this account. Instead, report and block it immediately to help shut it down," stated the MSU in a post about the scam.
Do not engage with this account. Instead, report and block it immediately to help shut it down.
