Wednesday, May 30, 2012
Not everyone is a fan of Facebook's Timeline feature. And that's a fact
of which spammers and scammers are happy to take advantage.
One of the Sophos reader received a mail that claims recipient can get rid of Facebook Timeline. The link in the spam mail leads to a website created just a couple of days ago, whose domain is registered in Turkey.
In that page, users are asked to install the add-on. In the terms of use, cyber criminals stated that "If you are not living in Turkey don't use this plugin, this is for only users who living in Turkey."
Usually these kind of add-on leads victims to some survey pages or ask you to like their pages but it never help you to remove the Timeline. So Users are advised to stay away from these kind of scams
