Lately the creation of false events in Facebook, we already saw it previously with 'Secure your Facebook account to avoid being deleted on November 5'. Today is the turn to tell you about another insidious, deceitful event that has emerged recently; I talk about "Install the hit counter on your Facebook profile"
It goes without saying that Facebook has not announced this news for our profile, such an idea has not even been thought of on its official blog, nor does such an application appear in the comments. Therefore, we can already suspect that it is one more fraud, on the part of those who want to earn some money by cheating the users-addicted to Facebook with misdeeds like this.
The alleged accountant has already cajoled more than 75 thousand users, and the number of invitations to the event has tripled. The initial steps to follow to "install the counter" this time are more organized and with good spelling by the way: you attend the event, invite all your contacts (very important according to them, otherwise it does not work) and finally you enter a blog where there is more instructions yet.
Once you visit the blog, the user is required to become a fan of their Facebook page, subscribe via e-mail (where they supposedly send the explanatory video to install the meter) and copy a code on their wall. Seeing this we can already understand that they want to attract the greatest number of visits to earn money with advertising and in the future sell the page. Tremendous business! ...
If you have already received the invitation to 'Install the hit counter on your Facebook profile', the best thing is that you report the event and if unfortunately one of your friends has fallen into the trap, warn them about it.
