Lake Land College Warns of Potential Phishing Social Media Event Scams
A phishing scam involving false social media events has targeted Lake Land College social media platforms.
Events claiming to be broadcasts of Lake Land College athletic events have been posted to platforms such as Facebook and Twitter directing viewers to click an attached link. These are not legitimate links to Lake Land College athletic event broadcasts but rather phishing attempts by fraudulent account users.
Any and all Lake Land College athletic events will be publicized via official Lake Land College athletics accounts, including the Facebook pages: Lake Land College Laker Athletics, Lake Land College Volleyball and Lake Land College Basketball and the Twitter accounts: @LakeLandBuzz, @LLCAthletics, @lakelandvb, @LLC_WBaskteball, @LLC_Basketball and @LLC_Baseball.
A link or event posted by pages not listed above or with no affiliation to Lake Land College should be treated as suspicious and reported using the platform’s “Find Help” or “Report” features.
