14 DAY TRIAL // Stolen Facebook accounts are utilized by criminal masterminds to spread the latest scam that promises members a free computer.
“OK guys my friend’s company is doing a promotion and offering free Apple macbook air’s. This hasn’t been released to everyone yet but I’m sending it out to you guys to get a chance to get them first,” reads the hoax that might be coming from one of your friends. Commtouch Cafee reveals that as with most of these schemes, the victim has to complete a survey after sharing and hitting the Like button that joins the ad.
In the end, all you get is a spammed inbox and a smudged wall, while the hackers get large amounts of affiliate cash.
Make sure not to trust these Facebook offers as in most cases, when they offer something for free, you can be certain you're faced with a plot.
