Pittsfield Police are warning people to be careful about missing persons posts from unknown sources and illegitimate Facebook pages.

NewsChannel 13 was told the Facebook page “Pittsfield Buy, Sell, Trade and Free” has been the source of thousands of shares pertaining to alleged missing people from Berkshire County. However, they are not missing.

The spam accounts that are posting these steal online photos from multiple sources, they said.

Some may even be photos of people who had been missing in the past from other agencies, but no longer are.
