Facebook Accounts getting Hacked like crazy

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Today I have seen 4 Profiles get hacked on Facebook.
I posted a month ago Warning facebook dislike button fake.
For one thing y’all. That dislike button looks like crap.
But still, I saw Starbucks get it’s account spammed from. and I have seen multiple females get their account scammed and spammed.
People stop clicking links in Facebook please. This isn’t 1995. We are not that vulnerable still. Right?
People. Please, For the love of common sense, do not click the fricken links for a little while, unless you know the website is safe. See these links will be coming from people you know, who have had their account hacked. You will not know it was hacked because it looks like a funny or a clever post, or it may look totally out of character, of course in that case you would be certain to see what the heck the post is all about. STOP.

If you did click the links, you need to run a virus and malware scan. and please contact the person who owns the profile that just got stolen and tell them what to do.

You people act like this AOL’s version of Myspace. and well. It shows that you do not internet very well.
and now your Facebook account is stolen.
Go change your password while you still can, and send out apologies like crazy. it’s like dating, if you get cooties you must tell everyone that could have been infected. Or they wont have a fighting chance. because if it’s a virus, their bank accounts can get wiped out, if the spent any money on Facebook games and this thing has their password, it’s over for them.
Facebook is not fort Knox.

Warning!!! Facebook Dislike Button – Fake

Posted onAuthorTruXter

This is sort ofr old news but I have some slow friends and I know you do to.
So when you run into one, send them a link to here.
and just to make it so you don’t look like a jerk for sendingthem here, smart people need this information!
There is a link to a “facebook dislike” both website and a button.
They are both fake and do not do what you want them to do.
Here is an old Mashable link that explains the situation better.
Facebook Dislike button is fake.

So if you do not wnat your account spamming something out that is below your taste, and making your om, granny, ex-boyfriend think something about you that you do not want them to think about you.
Don’t think there is a new “Dislike”
It’s not real unless posted on the front page of facebook..

It’s just as much a fake as the old myspace gimmick “see who is reading your page”.
So many people fell for that vanity scam.

How to delete facebook accounts

Posted onAuthorTech News

There is a large number of techies talking about closing their Facebook accounts. I myself closed my account twice now. Both times it was right there when I logged in again. It was as if it was just paused for a little while. It’s very much not like WordPress. On WordPress if you close an account, you can never bring it back. No one can re-use that name, it is completely over at that point.

There are a few places talking about how to close the accounts. I personally do not think either will work.

Rumor has it that if you mention any of this on facebook, your post will get deleted. If you post it again your account will get deleted. That to me sounds like the only way to get your account deleted properly. :-) . Just be sure to clean everything off your account first.

Gotta beat the machine.

Twitter is where it’s at. Exactly what it says it is.

Myspace on the hunt for new blood.

Sample pages for the new service closely resemble Yelp’s. On each business’ page, a block of basic information (phone number, address, map, price range) is followed by a string of comments with the name of the MySpace user who commented and a picture.
Like Yelp, MySpace and Citysearch will sell ads to local businesses that can run alongside its listings and user comments. MySpace will also place ads for national brands among the local content. So far, it has signed up Coors and Outback Steakhouse as the first advertisers.
