FAKE City of Dexter Facebook Page Created
September 08th 2017 by Dee Loflin
Dexter, Missouri - Everyone knows that social media was created to be a positive way to communicate; however there are always those few people that think it's cool or fun to create FAKE Facebook pages. What they don't realize is that some people fall for those FAKE news reports and think badly about someone or a business and it does harm to those people.
Most recently a FAKE Facebook page was created called The City of Dexter. Posts are ridiculous; however it has cause concern among residents in Dexter.
The best thing you can do is to NOT Like that page, but to follow the City of Dexter by clicking HERE. If you have Liked that page, go back and unlike it. That takes the power away from FAKE postings.
City Administrator Mark Stidham said, "The City of Dexter has been receiving inquiries about a Facebook post that is not affiliated with Dexter what so ever. The first inquiries came on Wednesday the 6th and continued into the 7th."
"If you pull up the post you'll notice other cities Sikeston, Jackson, and Poplar Bluff have been blessed by this hack also please let your followers know this is fake."
It's up to everyone to "police" Facebook and other social media outlets and to distinguish between what is real and what is fake; however sometimes it's hard to tell. The City of Dexter has one page on Facebook and always sends notices to local media outlets to get information out to the public.
