WARNING, MEMBERS!
We have been targeted by scammers, spammers and bots today.
Between 7:30-9:00 this morning, thousands of spam comments were left on our posts dating back more than six months. (Edited to Add: they started again around 1 and continued every few seconds until 4. Please DO NOT RESPOND to these comments, not even to tag us. Just report to Facebook.)
They each had the same wording describing a "national t-shirt," which we do not have, with a link, which you SHOULD NOT click! (Edited to add: they have changed the wording to VFW Auxiliary; it is the same spam/scam.)
After each one, there was a comment or two in which many members were tagged by the scammer.
These posts came from multiple accounts, with no one account posting more than once, which makes it difficult for us to flag, block and delete these comments. We are working hard to get rid of and report all of these, but it can be difficult to catch them all, especially as new ones are coming in.
Please DO NOT CLICK ON LINKS in the comments of posts unless they are posted by VFW Auxiliary National Headquarters' official page.
Also, DO NOT purchase VFW Auxiliary shirts or other materials from third-party vendors. Best case scenario, you are purchasing from an unauthorized vendor and receive a low-quality product, and worst-case scenario you pay money, never receive the product and your credit card information is compromised.
If you're looking for t-shirts with the VFW Auxiliary logo, you can find what you need at the VFW Store, www.vfwstore.org.
Protect yourself, your peace and your information. Do not click on these links. And if you're ever not sure if something is a scam or spam, send us a DM and ask. We are happy to help
