Fraudulent Facebook message: Officials warn of a viral message hoax



[ad_1]

Have you seen suspicious messages on your Facebook profile recently? Perhaps one of these texts reads in part as follows: "Hi … I have actually received another friend request from you yesterday, that I 'm sure. have ignored and you may want to check your account. "

Well, the message is a fake.

Once he has been informed of the friend requests you "send", he asks you to keep your finger on the message to transfer it.

Officials said your account did not send duplicate friend requests. And you have not received a request from the person to whom you are passing it.

The message is a hoax and by sharing it, you're just spreading it faster.

The best thing to do is to ignore it and delete it.

This message is different from the cloning epidemic that hit Facebook last year. These cases were real and people are still being hacked.

This message will not spread any bug or virus. It's just a cumbersome and useless message.

The video above is from a previous story.
