Facebook's Scamming Trend. by nannyo(f): 9:43pm On Aug 09, 2013 |
please lets take this seriously, so as to curb the scammers activities on FB. Alot has been happening in FB recently. let me share my few experiences. 1. I was chatting with a respected person only for him to ask me to send etisalat 2000 for him, claiming that he is not in a conducive place to buy. unfortunately for him my network was too slow so i logged off, but i found it unbelievable coming from him. 2. last week while chatting, someone asked me to get MTN 3000 for him to help a stranded friend, i checked his profile, he claims to be an oil worker, i laughed and asked how he intended to pay back. so i said i was not in the country at the moment. 3. I ve had atleast 3 different girls who are not my friends inboxing me claiming they checked my profile and that they want a serious relationship with. ![]() |

I have been using fbk for as long as I can remember and haven't encountered such. Except for some of of politicians- GEJ, Utomi, Ribadu etc, I know all my fbk friends personally. I know them to their roots so its near impossible to be told this kind of story to |

my dear, i don't even send anyone friend request since i have more than enough friends. [quote author=Gboliwe] this can only happen when you add random people up as friends. if you read my number 1 experience, u will realised its someone i know very well. nowadays people use pics of those you know to scam you. i have been a fb old user too, i doubted and blame people just like you till i experience it. since its spreading, yo will soon hear or even experience it. anyway, thankGod i didn't fall for any of them.

@majalisa, initially, i was accepting and sending request on face value, but after a thousand and one friends request i thought i should sociallike, afterall that's what fb is meant for. nevertheless, i don't sociallize with even quarter of them. |

nanny o: @majalisa, initially,ehen na, that is what I am saying. Take sometime out, go through your friends list and prune out everybody you havent met physically, those you dont know, then secure your account. Goodluck |
