Dubious child abductions on Facebook
It is not the first time that we have reported on dubious child abductions that are repeatedly shared on Facebook by unsuspecting users. The “missing” girl is said to be Emilia, who is missing from her family. The message asks to share the video footage in question in the search for the alleged perpetrator.
But be careful: this child abduction did not happen! Fraudsters use this nasty scam to try to crack Facebook accounts in order to be able to take them over at the end!
How does this scam work?
On Facebook, accounts that have already been “taken over” share the following or similar posts:

The articles about the kidnapped child, in this case an “Emilia”, serve purely as a lure to ultimately get the user’s login data and take over the victim’s Facebook account!
Note: The situation described, that the girl was kidnapped, has been checked and is fictitious! The alleged missing person does not exist either. So these incidents NEVER happened.
What is behind the link?
If you want to watch the video that supposedly shows the kidnapping, the trap appears and the user is redirected to a website that looks like Facebook, but is a fake. This can also be seen from the URL, among other things.

A fake Facebook login window pops up on a supposed news site. For the Facebook user it seems as if he now has to log in again with his Facebook access data.

Danger! A real login input field from Facebook always points to the official URL www.facebook.com !
If you enter your user data here, it will go directly to the fraudsters behind the fake Facebook page. They now have full access to the respective Facebook account. There is never a video to be seen. After apparently “logging in” again, you are simply redirected to the official Facebook page and, as a victim, the status post listed above is now automatically shared again without you noticing.
Conclusion
The article about the kidnapped child is purely a lure to get users' login details.
Users who click on the video and enter their real login details should change their Facebook password as soon as possible!
