People, please keep an eye on what you click. There are more and more scam links floating around on Facebook these days. Consignment stores, if you’re using Facebook for your business, you need to make sure you know about this sort of stuff. Especially if you have employees that access your Business page to post images, etc. Here’s an example of one of the latest scams…
Chances are, if the post/link starts out with “OMG,” you might not want to click it. Just sayin’. If you’ve already clicked on the Facebook scam link from your Feed, go and delete the post right away. Also, make sure your system is not infected as many of these links download Trojans and malware to your hard drive. Lastly, since many of these links attempt to “phish” your username and password from you, it might not be a bad idea to change your Facebook password right away.
We’re doing our best to help as many consignment stores as possible. Facebook and Twitter have their benefits, but you should know what’s out there before you or your employees run into one of these scams.

I've been helping consignment & resale store-owners since 2003. I started The Computer Peeps in February of 2010.

After 20 years of working with consignment stores, I understand the unique challenges consignment & resale store-owners face. From electrical issues in old buildings or strip malls, to advocating for them when their old consignment software keeps crashing.
