Facebook Still Sending Unwanted Messages

It doesn’t appear from my inbox that facebook has figured out a way to control the recent spam campaign being spread throughout the site.  Apparently if you click on the link that is sent to you in the message, it will automatically send out spam links to all of the friends on your list.  This is obviously a serious issue facebook has encountered, and members are getting unwanted messages from their friends who have been infected with this worm on a daily basis.  Should you click on one of these emails you will notice that it might even have your friends name and profile photo on the spam site.  It is hard to notice they are fake.

Don’t trust what you receive on these type of social networking sites.  If someone, including friends send you links on that looks odd, or you weren’t expecting, you should question them if they meant to send it to you prior to opening the link and infecting your computer.  In defense of facebook, they have 100 million members, and compared to other sites like myspace, they have done an incredible job of stopping the spam that probably tries to get through daily. Most people have switched to facebook to avoid all the spam and junk they received on other sites.   Just get it fixed facebook, before you become myspace.

  • I've been receiving viral spam message on my hotmail as well. It happens when you're asked to login. On Facebooks scale, probably billions of spam messages have been sent out.
  • There's nothing much one can do except to cancel the account at the moment. Try to avoid joining too many groups and you might just find out who's the one doing all that spamming.
  • They are slowly improving. Can't complain much or they might terminate my Facebook account.

I really like my new house. i went out for some fresh air today early morning, although i am generally not the morning person type but i have to admit i really enjoyed it.
  • Yeah, this is a serious issue, even the applications developed by other through developer support program is a gateway for spammers to crawl into the system. What I have notices is when ever you sign for some application, that is not very legitimate it gets you some new spam bugs and this is forwarded to friends itself without your consent. Still face book is giant when we talk about social networking and it has gained this in little time relative to its competitors. I'm sure they will be working on it. Regarding Microsoft, the spam mails we get through hotmail are even dangerous. I happened to lose one of account while accessing a friend's photo album which was actually not his so be aware of that.

    Though facebook send spam messages but this isn’t the case just with facebook as whatever site we visit, or any community we join, its always hard to make sure that they all are spam-free.. As they have become addicted of facebook so its hard to say that because of these spams on facebook, people would prefer to go somewhere else..
  • yeah , i know it can become quite irritating.
  • Yeah, Spam can be quite frustrating. NO choice, but to start a new account.

    By changing the term of agreement and office term of the different web site their must be the promulgate and affectivity of that networking site that some might thinking off well have been design for, Facebook may need payday loans to keep their doors open if mass user exodus happens. The popular social networking site is coming under heavy fire for changing their terms of service. Apparently, the company keeps any and all user information indefinitely, which a majority of users, rightly so, consider a massive invasion of their privacy. Payday loans companies wouldn't do that, and neither would a lot of other companies. The company is already under fire for their persuasive advertising that's due to hit, and users are growing dissatisfied with the website. I'd rather get payday loans, learn to knit, or do anything that doesn't invade my privacy – I think I'll be deleting my Facebook.
  • I wonder when face book is going to end this because it is very annoying and puts a bad image on them
