'Tis the season for giving, but it's also the season for scams.⁠
⁠
One such scheme could involve Facebook and someone posing as a good friend.⁠
⁠
Yvonne Lehman recently received a message from a relative, who was also a Facebook friend, saying she had just won a "Facebook Freedom Award," and that she thought Lehman was a winner too.⁠
⁠
"She had won this contest, and she had seen my name on it too. So then she sent me the link to this person who handled it," Lehman said.⁠
⁠
The agent, who she reached by Facebook Messenger, claimed Lehman had actually won one of their top prizes, $50,000. However, the agent told her she needed to send them money first.⁠
