Keanu Reeves Dies in Snowboard Accident

While news of singer Whitney Houston's death is true, new messages circulating in social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter are falsely spreading information that Matrix actor Keanu Reeves died in a snowboard accident:

Actor Keanu Reeves is reported to have died shortly after a snowboard accident earlier today - February 12, 2012.

The actor & novice snowboarder was vacationing at the Zermatt ski resort in Zermatt, Switzerland with family and friends. Witnesses indicate that Keanu Reeves lost control of his snowboard and struck a tree at a high rate of speed.

Keanu Reeves was air lifted by ski patrol teams to a local hospital, however, it is believed that the actor died instantly from the impact of the crash. The actor was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and drugs and alcohol do not appear to have played any part in his death.

Again, Keanu Reeves is still alive and the quoted message above is not at all true. Many actors, singers and other celebrities have already been "killed" by scammers spreading hoax news. Make sure to verify with your favorite search engine whenever you read or see Facebook viral news of noteworthy people dying.

If one of your friends spread the message, make sure to mark the post as spam.

Which Friend Stalks You the Most on Facebook?

Here's another version of the who viewed my profile scam on Facebook, an application that is supposed to tell who among your friends stalk you the most in the social networking site.

My biggest stalker is ____ Which Friend Stalks You the Most?

The trend for such scams can be attributed to one feature of an older social networking site Friendster where users are able to view who checked or viewed their profiles. Unfortunately, Friendster is not Facebook and applications that promise to give users an overview who checks out their profile and who their "stalkers" are are likely scams distributed for malicious purposes.


Purpose Behind "Which Friend Stalks You the Most on Facebook?" Scams
Why is there a boom in fake Facebook applications and features? Cyber crooks are distributing rogue applications in an attempt to lure people to visit malicious pages. These pages may prompt you to install rogue toolbars, download viruses and malwares masquerading as plugins or a software upgrade, phish your login credentials, ask you to provide information such as your email and phone number or prompt you to do surveys. In a way or the other, cyber crooks likely earn money whenever people do the bidding of these malicious pages.

What to Do:

• Report Which Friend Stalks You the Most in Facebook? messages as spam. Remember, there is no such thing as Facebook who viewed your profile or stalker applications in the social network YET. Removing the messages you have posted or seen shared in Facebook will help prevent others from falling to this scam.

Remove the rogue Facebook app that may be spamming your wall or your friends' walls with "Which Friend Stalks You the Most in Facebook?" messages. To do this,

--- select the drop down arrow beside HOME. Go to ACCOUNT SETTINGS.



--- Go to APPS.

--- Determine which of the applications you use might be causing your Facebook account to spam your friends. Click the x mark beside the malicious application.
