Fake ‘Groom Wanted’ Facebook Posts Lure Users to Gambling Sites

A new type of online scam is deceiving Bangladeshis through fake matrimonial ads on Facebook. Scammers post “Groom Wanted” advertisements that attract users, who are then redirected to online gambling and cryptocurrency trading platforms. Many victims report losing significant amounts of money as these platforms often operate without regulatory oversight. Cybercrime units in Bangladesh are urging social media users to remain vigilant and verify the authenticity of such posts before engaging.
