im sure michael cera (if picked to be in the movie) will be randomly attacked by princes in need of money; that'd make it a bit more believable and/or interesting. #scams
I refuse to run any of those games, quizzes, or other bullshit on Facebook. The message you get when you click on one pretty much admits they will steal all your personal info, claming it's "needed to run" whatever it is you are clicking on. #scams
@ackthbbft: What personal info are you putting on FB thats so valuable for them to steal? Your name? they can get that anywhere along with your birthdate, what town you are from etc. So be smart and dont put in your home address or phone number. Maybe I should remove my SSN from my profile? #scams
@ackthbbft: It doesn't matter if you run those games or not. Every time one of a your friends takes a quiz, the quiz has access to your profile. [www.aclunc.org]#scams
Why is everyone so heartless? Nigerian princes need our support too. And if you guys think it's a scam, that's your problem, you won't end up with his riches. #scams
facebook had better be verrry careful they don't screw this up. social networking is a tricky business; users are fickle (including myself) and will be glad to switch to something better if the system they use abuses them. i don't think there is much loyalty to facebook just as is (was?) the case with myspace. i don't hate facebook, in fact i find it very useful, but i'll be first (after women and children of course ;) ) to jump ship if a superior alternative floats by. #scams
Facebook is working in a vacuum. They have no idea of what is on their site or what it even looks like. I'm convinced they've never even gone online to use it, or they would not keep "updating" it to make it even more confusing and busy. #scams
A fool and his money are easily parted...
There will always be scams. Facebook should try to limit them where possible, but I don't think it's their ultimate responsibility to police it. That would be like holding ISPs responsible for email scams. How about some personal responsibility..? If you send money to someone you have no information on and no knowledge of, don't be surprised if it doesn't go well.
@lostarchitect: That's a phishing attempt, not a scam actually originating on Facebook itself. I don't think there is much Facebook can do to combat that. #scams
@lostarchitect: I got one of those the other day at work. I do have a Facebook account, but not associated with my work email. It should just take some fine tuning or updating of your company's spam filter. #scams
why does everyone here fail to mention that you can close the ads on facebook and also report them as "whatever" it is. now, if facebook does anything with that is anyone's guess. #scams
@Nick: Yeah, they really get that notice you're sending them! It goes straight into their spam folder and is deleted immediately. FB has no idea what's goin on in their world. #scams
It is a treu shame thta the US A peopl are being $cammed out of there money like thsi. It is takking much neded dollar$ away from helping us NIGERIAN PRINCE$ from movng our vast welth 2 the united stats.Pleese to b sending your Bank Accounts info to those who NED it!!!!1 #scams
@Griffehpoo: as soon as i claim this internet lottery ticket i will send you my bank account. i also have some packages coming to me that i have to send over seas. #scams
@Nick: I would like to buy your packages. I have a friend who owes me a considerable amount of money. I will have him send you a cashier's check for the money he owes me, since he can't for some reason send mail to me. If you would be so kind as to deduct the cost of your packages, plus a 15% commission and remit the rest to me by postal money order. I will arrange with a friend to pick up the packages. #scams
@Nick: Excellent. Packages will be picked up tomorrow by a black van with a driver named Luigi. If time is convenient for you, we will reschedule when you are out. Please leave housekeys under doormat. #scams
