Scammers Exploit Casino Brands: Plainridge Park Hit

Scammers have become increasingly bold in their misuse of official casino brands, imagery, and identities to promote their deceitful schemes. A recent victim of such malicious tactics is the renowned Plainridge Park Casino.

Scammers Target Plainridge Park Casino

This is a well-known tactic employed by scammers, which has become increasingly prevalent on Facebook. While the social media platform strives to curb these bad actors, they often succeed in causing harm before being stopped.

By masquerading as a ‘fake’ online casino, these scammers trick players into:

Depositing funds
Divulging sensitive information

These actions can be exploited to cause personal or financial harm.

The scammers exploit the fact that online casinos are not readily accessible in some regions. However, a recognizable brand name might be, tempting unsuspecting players into believing that a reputable casino has ventured into online gambling.

Victims of these scams include both the targeted companies, such as Plainridge Park Casino in this instance, and individuals whose personal data and finances suffer as a result.

The casino has issued a warning to the public, clarifying that any advertisements claiming it offers online casino gaming are false. The casino is not authorized to provide such services, and individuals should not disclose any information to anyone making these claims.

‘Please exercise caution whenever an online entity requests your credit card or personal information. If you encounter this advertisement, please report it to Facebook. Ensure it is us by looking for our blue verified checkmark!’

Similar deceptive practices have targeted other land-based casinos across Washington. Scammers aim to quickly obtain money and sensitive financial information before their fraudulent activities are exposed to the public.
