STAY SAFE ON WEB PROTECT YOUR FACEBOOK ACOUNT!!!
A Self-XSS scam usually works by promising to help you access somebody else's account. Instead, the scammer tricks you into gaining access to your account for fraud, spam and tricking more people into a scam.
Scammers will usually target your friends by posting to your Timeline.
To avoid Self-XSS attacks, never copy and paste suspicious links. Learn how to recognize a scam.
Scams on Facebook happen when scammers create fake accounts or hack into existing Facebook accounts of people you know. The fake or compromised accounts will then try to trick you into giving them money. If you've received a message that you believe is a scam, don't respond to it. If a scammer tries to message you, report them.
Here are some common scams to look out for:
Romance scams: Romance scammers typically send romantic messages to people they don’t know, often pretending to be divorced, widowed or in a bad marriage. They'll engage in online relationships in hopes of receiving money for flights or visas. Their goal is to gain your trust, so the conversations may continue for weeks before they ask for money.
Lottery scams: Lottery scams are often carried out from accounts impersonating someone you know, or fake profiles pretending to represent an organization like Facebook. The messages will claim that you're among the winners of a lottery and that you can receive your money for a small advance fee. The scammer may ask you to provide personal information, such as your physical address or bank details.
Loan scams: Loan scammers send messages and leave posts offering instant loans at a low interest rate for a small advance fee.
Access Token Theft: A link is shared with you that requests access to your Facebook account. The link may look like it came from a legitimate app, but instead it is a way that spammers can gain access to your account and spread spam.
To protect yourself from scams, watch out for the following:
-People asking you for money who you don’t know in person
-People asking you for advance fees to receive a loan, prize or other winnings
-People asking you to move your conversation off Facebook (ex: a separate email address)
-People claiming to be a friend or relative in an emergency
-Messages or posts with poor spelling and grammatical mistakes
