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.which friend stalks you the most find out here

Oops! Selena and Bieber’s hidden camera bedroom video

Oops! Selena and Bieber’s hidden camera bedroom video

Young celebrities Justin Bieber and Selena are among the most popular names in Facebook hoaxes and scams. Because of their popularity and big following among Facebook users, their names are often used to lure people, teenagers usually, into falling to survey scams or unknowingly install malicious softwares or even download viruses.



It is no wonder that new versions of Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber keep showing up in the social network, the latest ones, bearing these messages:

EXCLUSIVE!!! The “Young Love” Stolen Video Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez.
http://tinyurl.com/justinLa0CH hey this is really cool! Stolen Video Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

Oops!!! There Was a Hidden Camera in Justin Bieber’s Bedroom

Oops!!! There was a hidden camera in Selena & bieber’s bedroom
HaHa it’s really so funny – Don’t Miss it!
justinhiddentruth.co.cc



Do not fall to the scam. Always think twice before clicking on and sharing videos and images of popular celebrities in Facebook. This holds especially true when you notice that the image or video spread so fast in your network. Malicious Faceook apps spreading these hoax messages may employ clickjacking so whenever you tried to view the malicious messages, you too start to post the same message in your wall and even into your Facebook friends' walls.

What to Do

This will surely not be the last time that scams taking advantage of celebrities' names spread on Facebook. You can, however, help avert the spread of these Facebook scams.

Make sure to flag the message as scam and tell your friends NOT to click on this link as this may lead to installation of rogue browser plugins.
