NastyNick Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Sort of like me receiving an email warning of a dangerous facebook scam, clicking the link to only discover a news story about a JC Penny survey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Pus*ies! "This scam is slightly different than most other in the way that it actually ends up doing what you expected it to do before clicking the link and starting the process. You DO end up seeing the #1 song when you were born, but to get there you must jump through hoops and help the scammers share their application and complete surveys to make them money".

Suetape Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Seen it the last few days myself. NOT bothering to OPEN it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIJoe Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Oh, and you should send it to ten of your friends in the next five minutes or you will receive bad luck. Unbelievable! I googled my date of birth and got the song and the artist. No clue who she was, but no survey either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmacdon61 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I saw this with my daughters facebook, looked up mine on the internet (not by link) but google search, found the #1 song, searched it on utube, found the song and then posted it for her to see. Links are always dangerous and if you set your security up in your bowser, not an issue. Just select "confirm all downloads" first. No issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsiaCheese Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Simple rule: no FB apps for whatever reason. You give shadily specified permissions, many to do with 'can use your friends list' up to and including 'access and send messages'. When you're in the Zucker domain, there's not much privacy left once you 'app'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
