Manchester United has issued a warning to their loyal fans, urging them to be cautious and avoid any suspicious activity related to fan tokens. This comes after the club's official Instagram and Facebook pages were targeted by scam posts promoting a crypto fan token on Friday night.
The first sign of trouble was a post on the club's Facebook page at 7:38 pm, encouraging supporters to purchase a fan token called "$REDDEVILS". The post promised exciting perks such as exclusive merchandise and VIP fan experiences in exchange for buying the token.
Although the same post was deleted on United's Instagram account, it remained visible on the club's Facebook page until 11 pm that evening. A message was also posted on United's official Discord channel, informing fans that their Facebook and Instagram accounts had been compromised.
The message urged fans to refrain from engaging in any suspicious activity related to fan tokens and assured them that the club was working to resolve the issue. They promised to communicate with fans once the problem was resolved.
This is not the first time Manchester United has been targeted by cybercriminals. In November 2020, the club fell victim to a cyber attack by organized criminals. Despite this setback, the team is currently preparing for a highly-anticipated match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Ruben Amorim's side has faced two consecutive defeats in the Premier League and currently sits at 13th place on the table, eight points behind fourth-placed City. But with the support of their loyal fans, Manchester United is determined to bounce back and secure a victory against their rivals.
