The Latest Facebook Scam

Thanks for this post now I know what not to do and for everybody sake.

I wouldn't go as far to say that it is the IQ level but I will agree that everyone with a computer and a cell app thinks that all is wine and roses and have no idea of the consequences of clicking on those scams. The problem is they are fun and fairly new and just click and go. Too easy just like plug and play. Scary stuff!!!

One thing the scammers know - the average FB IQ level is not very high. I cancelled my account because I was insenced that the scammers thought I was so stupid. As for Casery Anthony, if ever there was proof of the damage that the media can do, this case is it. The jurors were unable to find Anthony guilty of any of the major crimes because she was charged only with first degree murder and a few felonies. The simple fact is that the jury, who listened to all the evidence, not just the sound bite

Thanks Don.

@ Paul- It's all good man!!! :-)

@ Paula- Thanks so much for posting this as the more that realize it's a scam the better. @-Lenore- Thank you also. You would be amazed at how many fall for that. I am a big skeptic so I don't click on any of that garbage that is posted over on Facebook.

Thanks Lenore, the voice of reason.

Thank you for researching this. I've already seen it on my FB Wall and kind of figured it was some sort of hoax, so I just deleted the post. I put this link on my FB status as well... :)

@Bill (bj) I'm sure Paul wasn't being sarcastic or insinuating those who do not live in the US are idiots. :)

Posted this on readersareleaders group Don. Thanks again for this article

@Don your scam alert as I stated was welcome. It was the comment of Paul's [quote] I was only the trial of the century[/unquote] as if we are idiots if we are not up on the USA current events. @Paul It is your business when you assume that all members live in the USA.

@ bj & Paula- Thanks for pointing out to me about other countries not knowing everything that goes on in the United States. I tend to think sometimes that if it happens here then the whole world knows about it. This is simply not true so I will remember that when posting an article and give enough background for all... @ Paul- Good lesson for us all. @ Patricia- Yep, I would let your niece know to watch for this kind of stuff and ask her not to send potential scams like that. @ Malok- I remembe

I totally agree Don, I've been hit a few times myself for either clicking on things or attachments in emails. I was a newbie but it wreaked havoc with my hard drive and I'm extra careful now. AVG malware and virus protection works pretty good for me but I still keep a close eye out.

Thank you all for your comments. Look any social network is a target for malware, fishing and any of the little nasties out there. I take a special interest in this stuff as I was hacked last year and I am still recovering from the damage done. The minute I hear of this kind of program I go into a search frenzy and learn all I can. Then I try to alert as many of my aquaintences so they can check out what is going on. I don't wish what happened to me on anyone. Please be smart about what you do o

Thanks a lot for sharing this info. There are about 750,000 current facebook accounts, including accounts of scammers.

This is another scam after my "Photo Tag Scam" Last week my image and reputation almost came to a crash when one of these crooks sent out to my friends in Facebook that Malok has a tagged you in a photo.I am glad that you share this earlier.Otherwise,I shall take heed to the next coming ones.

@Paul well excuse me for not living in the US but there are another at leat 196 countries in the world as well as the US

oh, i am sorry. thank you for the article about the scam. i have to be careful because i have a niece in texas that shares stuff like that. I never go to any of her links. rather be safe than sorry is my policy.

I heard about the case from a co-worker who was up in arms. I do not watch television so had no idea who it was either. I just feel so horrible for the poor little child that had to suffer before reaching God's lap. At least now she is safe from any further harm. amen, amen.

Oh, and just to add to this the trial was televised through the whole United States. If you are interested in reading about the case just do a search for Casey Anthony and you will find it all over the net.

Casey Anthony is a 25 year old girl who was accused of killing her daughter who was 2 years old at the time. The prosecution put together a case where she used chloroform and duct taped her daughters mouth and nose. Kept her in the trunk of her car for a month and put her in a plastic bag and through her in a swamp. She was acquitted of all 3 murder charges and now will be released from prison on the 17th of July. Most people are up in arms about the case because they say she is guilty... Big, b
