⚠️ Scam Awareness for Bereaved Families
Today, a family leaving the crematorium checked their phone on the way to the reception and were shocked to discover a fake memorial page created for their mother.
This page falsely claimed to offer a live webcast of the service, invited people to donate “to the family,” and even used her photograph to appear genuine.
It was a scam.
It appears that bots had picked up public posts about the family’s loss and created this fake page in an attempt to exploit their grief and steal money from relatives and friends.
We’re sharing this to raise awareness and help protect other families at such a vulnerable time.
👉 If you ever receive a link asking for donations or offering streaming services, please check directly with the family or their funeral director before clicking or contributing.
Stay vigilant, and please share to help others avoid falling victim to this.
