With high school sports season well underway, social media users may be noticing advertisements to stream their favorite team’s game online.
Well, some of those ads are malicious links trying to scam people into sending them money.
Officials say they’ve noticed an uptick in these scam posts over the last handful of years, especially after crowds were initially restricted during the height of the pandemic.
Athletic officials urge social media users, especially on Facebook, to double check with the school districts to see if they utilize any video streaming platforms.
