Apparently, the Army is becoming aware of the Nigerian princes who are pretending to be members of the military. We have been aware of it for a long time. Read the Facebook comments on this post <\/a>from nearly four years ago where victims come to tell us about their experiences. Anyway, according to Federal News Radio<\/a>, the Army is looking for someone to help them find, monitor and destroy fake accounts on social media;<\/p>\n

The Army is looking for help from a vendor to find, monitor and get rid of imposter social media accounts.<\/p>\n

Among the capabilities the Army is looking for a vendor to provide are \u201can existing commercially available, user-friendly, web-based solution to monitor and mitigate imposter profiles on social media platforms. A solution that is automated and secure (not susceptible to hacking). The ability to query at a minimum, but not limited to the following social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Skype, Instagram and YouTube as well as the ability to include new\/additional social media networks as they arise.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They wouldn’t need to contract for someone to do that if Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Skype, Instagram and YouTube took the threat seriously. Every time that I complain about fake accounts, the providers listed above wave me off and tell me not to worry about it. When I can identify the victims who have had their images and identities appropriated, I warn them personally and even then those providers aren’t at all responsive to reports of hijacked images an identities.<\/p>\n

So, good luck, Army.<\/p>\n
