So I get an email that my brother has left a message for me on Facebook which I really don’t use anymore. I log in and get the bizarre badly misspelt note about me suddenly being famous or something which has me wondering if he wrote it – and then theres a link.
Thinking this is humour and a bit of a piss take, I hit the link, sit back and wait for a vid or something to appear… No, my laptop gets suddenly upset and I get a warning flash up from both Norton and Windows…
Whatever it was, my security killed it. So now I’m looking on the main Facebook page and there is another note posted by my brother which a different link on it…. With caution, I hit this link and the exact same thing happens!!
Here is the posted warning I received.

Ok guys, when you’re using Facebook and you see those little things that say stuff like ’send a friend a gift’ or ‘play a game’ and anything like that that asks you to click an OK button – DON’T!!!! not ever, you’re not just agreeing to the two minutes of fun you think you are – you’re agreeing to a whole load of other stuff. Most of which is the transfer of valuable and more importantly, personal information being passed to a third party who WILL sell it on to others.
