Don't fall for scams.

Don't be so gullible in everything you see online saying you'll win free stuff.
Don't give out your email/facebook/any information so easily.

If you do not follow two simple rules, you will/might :
-lose your account
-get your identity stolen
-open up your social website/email account for people to send spam to their msn/facebook in return causing your gullible friends to do the same mistake as you did.
-be ridiculed indirectly by me and everyone else


Below is taken from a note from my facebook.

To those that joined the "SONY PLAYSTATION3 GIVEAWAY PROMOTION" group, notice the steps, specifically part 2 when mentions.
2) On the bottom left of this page there is a little button that says "Share"... Click it, and hit "Share" when it pops up. This allows the Dislike feature to be used on all of your friends' pages.
Seems like a scam to me.

Not to mention the rule where you have to invite ALL your friends in order to access a very sketchy website to register.
Do yourselves and all your friends who aren't interested a favor. STOP FALLING FOR SCAMS SUCH AS THESE.

Such scams send spam to your friends; on facebook, on msn, emails and etc. Even worse, it can wipe out everything on your computer by means of a virus.


How about the "I WON'T PAY $$$ TO USE FACEBOOK" group?
Where in the world did you hear that facebook's starting to charge? Do you believe everything on the internet because it is? If a Nigerian prince emailed you that he is going to send you $1million to your bank account will you give him all your bank information? (Well someone was dumb enough to fall for it. Go look it up).
