Facebook Scam: Cyber Crooks Stalking Facebook Users
April 22nd, 2009I just read about this. If you have a Facebook account, I highly recommend clicking on the link and watching the video from WebCastr.com:
“Computer security specialists warn that Facebook users have been hit with a series of data-stealing attacks in the past week as cyber crooks increasingly stalk social-networking websites. This attacked is called 419 Scam.”
Here’s the link: http://webcastr.com/videos/informational/facebook-cyber-crooks-target.html
Anytime someone contacts you via the internet asking for money, whether it’s via email or via a social networking site like Facebook, it’s a good idea to be skeptical and attempt to verify directly with the individual - even if the individual is someone you think you know.
