Facebook Scams
I'd just like everyone to know:
If a Facebook page has 3 steps or whatever for you to see some video or read something or see some pictures or anything, with steps like "Like this.", "Post/Share this", it is a scam. I see lots of people doing these, and they simply don't work. If you're really so curious what's behind it, ask the person you saw post it, and almost for sure, they'll tell you they never got to see the content they wanted to see. Usually, the first two steps are to spread the scam (like and share) and the final step is filling out some survey thing for advertisers. They don't work though, and the creators get money from it. So -- don't even try! Rather it's "13 Worst Marriage Proposal Fails Ever Recorded on Video!", "SHOCKING: RUDE HIDDEN MESSAGE in Toy Story 3!", ""I am shocked!!! I’m NEVER texting AGAIN since I found this out.", or "OMG!! McDonalds might soon shut down because of this, you have to see this."...
There are lots of them. Basically, if there are steps to take to see the content, then the content most likely doesn't even exist and it's just a scam. So, don't waste your time, and don't spread the scams.
