Zoo World Scam App 04-22-11

There is a scam Application Page claiming to give you a free Octopus.

This page tells you to go to their app and it will take you to their off FB page where you will receive this item.

http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=162570977132281&sk=wall

If you did this you need to go to your account and then to your privacy setting.

Go to the bottom to you

Apps and Websites and Remove this App.

You should never have to give an Application Permission for something like this it is a scam.

Now on our Facebook we reported a Real Giveaway of this same Octopus and this one was for real.

I received one myself.

In this one all that was asked was you made the person your friends so she could send it to you and that you liked their group. This one was not a scam like the one above.

Survey Scam See what you'll look in the future!

This one was going around before and is now making it's rounds again,

Caution on this one do not click on it.

This will take you off Facebook and then back to a Facebook page.

Tells you to hit CTL C

Then Alt D

Then CtL V

To see this This copys the code bookmarks it into your browser and then runs it without you knowing it.

This will trick you into installing it, under the impression that you are going to use an app that will age them 20 years. The Rogue application "See How You Will Look In 20 Years!" does nothing more than Spam your wall, without your knowledge, and links once you "Allow or Install" it on your facebook profile. The end game is you must fill out surveys or download products to view the blocked content. Rest assured the app can not show you aged 20 years. This is a Survey Scam. Avoid this scam..
