2. • This presentation is made of 5 years
experience of the author in Facebook about
“Hoaxes” and Scams”
• Hoax == An act intended to deceive or trick.
• Scam == A fraudulent business scheme.

3. As like real life, there are BAD and
EVIL minded people on Facebook
and other virtual places also.

4. They like to play with New and
Inexperienced users;
They also try to make some money
out of it.

5. Now we will meet some of the
ALL TIME Hit Scams and hoaxes

6. If some page promises you to give
FREE Samsung or Apple Tabs just by
liking and inviting others
that's FAKE !

7. If someone send you message saying Facebook
will terminate your account if you don’t copy-
paste it
that's FAKE !

8. There is no way in Facebook user profiles that
will tell you who visited your profile;
Clicking on those links will just make your
friends annoyed by posting the same link in
groups.

9. There are also seasonal scams; changes time to
time and place to place; most are “Watch this
video” kind of. When you click on it will post
automatically to all groups your are in or make a
photo and tag your friends or make several
posts and tag friends.

10. Apps promising Facebook color change are also
FAKE !

11. Posts says Facebook will start charging for
accounts are FAKE !

12. Stay aware about repetitive posts with short
links, most of those
news are FAKE !

13. How You Get Affected ?
• You lose you data to hackers.
• You lose your reputation; people will think you
are an asshole.
• You will get kicked out from Facebook groups
• Plus you may also get some free viruses in
your computer.

14. How to stay safe ?
• Use Common sense; There is NO free lunch
• Don’t click on porn, hot video, free ipad, mobile
recharge or whistle blower kind of links
• Read out the apps permission that it asks for and
think do this app really want that permission
• In case you can’t hold yourself, open Internet
Explorer (where you might have never logged
into Facebook) and enter the link you want to see
without getting logged in.
