Facebook also has its good sides: missing persons and wanted reports that are distributed by authorities are often widely distributed and receive a lot of support. However, fraudsters take advantage of this: Users see an article that only appears to be genuine about a child who, by chance, was kidnapped nearby and, as in this case, a 14-year-old boy allegedly raped his grandmother and killed her too! But the link to the video in the fake article about the alleged kidnapping leads to a phishing trap!
Note: Users who fall into this trap end up posting these posts in the groups without them noticing! (Please make these users aware of this and, if possible, change their Facebook password immediately)
The lure
Often these fake articles are shared in local groups and the place name is then used in the fake articles to generate maximum interest.

Fake newspaper articles
If you click on such a link, you will land on a fake newspaper article about the alleged kidnapping, clearly visible from the URL at the top of the address bar:

Note: We searched for the photo in the fake article using the “ reverse Google image search ” and found it. The photo itself is real and came from an act in 2016. See “ Tageblatt.de” from July 24, 2016
The trap when clicking on the “See article” button
If you now look at the article that supposedly shows the rape and killing, the trap appears:

You will be asked to log in via Facebook. But be careful! You are still on the fake site!
Your login details are then given to fraudsters, who then have full access to your Facebook account ... and you never see an article; after apparently logging in, you are simply redirected to the official Facebook page.
Fell into the trap?
Users who clicked on the Facebook status post and entered their real login details in the fake article should change their Facebook password as soon as possible!
Conclusion
The article about the rape of a 14-year-old boy is purely a lure to get the login details of Facebook users.
