Here's the fake Four Daughters Vineyard and Winery Facebook Page

I went to try to find the fake page and see if it still exists and it didn't take long to make that happen.  The scammers took photos and videos from the original Facebook page, posted them all just a few hours ago, and started sending out fake messages to people.  You can see below from the photo of the scam on their page that the name is obviously not the same as the real page.  Whatever you do, do NOT click on the link in the posts on this fake page.  You never know what those could lead to or if it could lead to viruses on your own devices.
