"birthday shirt" targeting Facebook users Be aware

Psychological ill people are back in action this year and now they want to hit the Facebook's users.

There is a separate web page made by some community.

The page indicates that as there is Facebook's 7th anniversary, Facebook decided to give away some T-shirts which will be tagged "Facebook" on it. Well there are some unaware users who are scammmmed. 

The said group was mass sharing the status a link which is redirected to new page which is owned by them only. There they ask permission to allow access your profile's basic information.

The parties behind the scam would then ask for a “secret" Facebook email address to verify the prospective victim is a legitimate Facebook user. They say they will upload photoes, videos,  status updates from them to users profile. This I call a kinky stuff. And when you allow them by providing your secrete FB email address by which you can directly post anything on your wall.

This was detected as fraudulent  as you are redirected to page other than Facebook.com and was not sub domain of FB like Facebook.com/something.

You will know if you are scammed if some third party posts status updates on your behalf which includes some advertisements of third parties.

Cure that will help you if you get to know that you are scammed:

1. refresh your email status addresses from privacy option.

2. Never ever share it again to any third party. 

Things are more simpler actually. I mean why facebook will request you to verify status update email address which is itself provided by them ?

Be alert think logically if you are asked something to be verified.

Also don't forget to check the address in the address bar of browser if it is genuine. You can do it by checking manually if its a page hosted by the site such as:

www.facebok.com/verify is not the same as www.facebook.com/verify.

Hope your Facebook accounts are in sound conditions.
