A huge number of people number of people have been lured to pages and "so-called" Facebook applications and requests. The most recent once again is the "Facebook Profile Viewer" app claiming to give you access as to who is spying or visiting your profile.
It gets to be annoying but I am fully understanding why people repeatedly let scams like this succeed. The rogue apps and requests are brilliantly created and of course, the creators are banking on human gullibility owing to the fact that always... "curiosity kills the cat".
I did my fair share to stop these even spreading information that LINKS pointed to or coming from friends' Facebook status updates are not to be trusted and REQUESTS by people to direct you to an application are also not to be trusted. Also, I spread information on layman's term that Facebook asks us to verify our accounts or anything else via e-mail and mobile but clearly, not through friends.
Despite all the sharing of links from experts and hoax-busters explaining that these links are nothing but a scam, people still get to touch those links! On this day alone, I have 2-3 victimized friends every 5 minutes! Thus; I thought of them as Facebook Domestic Turkeys!
Why? Because domestic turkeys are known to drown in a heavy rain shower because they didn't realize that it would be dry and safe inside their hutches. Other domestic turkeys are so brainless that they can't even remember how to eat and must be fed by the farmer. These gullible people on Facebook are meant to be called such for not using their brains or, they are just purely brainless.
Facebook Domestic Turkey... It's a fun and apt name! Through my dedicated poster for them to be spread on Facebook, I hope this will help stop further clicking of rogue apps affecting and infecting others. Just like the message on my poster, "We should never under-estimate the power of stupid people in large groups".
