Spam on Facebook .. Now It Happened To Me As Well

Slowly Facebook IS turning into the new Myspace.
I have been reading several blogposts about people being spammed on Facebook lately, and then today it came around knocking on my door as well.

I received a friends request from a guy calling himself Ryan Attwell .. never heard of him.
I went to check out his profile and noticed that his pictures was part of his public profile. Strange, I thought.

Then I took a closer look at the pictures and found that he had 13 albums of “designer” handbags. Strange again, I thought. This guy does not look like someone who would put his all his designer handbags on display.

But then when I took a closer look at the pictures I noticed that they had an URL written all over them .. which, surprise surprise!, would take me to a site selling fake designer stuff.

I assume that Zuckerberg’s world reign will never happen by the way things are going.
Spam is no longer just a part of the oh-so-lovely 3rd party applications like Funwall and Superwall, but is now also part of the Facebook platform itself.
The fun ended before it really begun..
