MANAGEMENT of Orion Springfield Central shopping centre have been forced to issue a warning after a social media profile impersonating the company attempted to scam customers.
It comes following reports the copycat profile directly messaged users asking for bank details and delivered promises of fake competitions.
A spokeswoman for the shopping centre said management were first made aware of the scam last week after a number of people reported the issue.
“These profiles were reported by customers which assisted Facebook in deactivating the pages in a timely manner,” she said.
