Enable/Disable Button Scam Spreading on facebook
Do you like this story?
Researchers from Sophos have spotted a currently circulating “Enable Dislike Button” Facebook scam.
Upon clicking on the what looks like a recently added genuine Facebook feature, users are exposed to a “Follow the steps below to get the Dislike button” instructions page similar to the one seen in the Osama Execution Video Scam.
Spamvertised as:
Once the users copy and paste the obfuscated javascript in their browsers, all of their friends will be spamvertised with a wall post about the non-existent Dislike feature. The campaigners appear to be monetizing the campaign through a survey scam.
For the time being, Facebook doesn’t offer a dislike button.
And for any such confirmation, visit official facebook blog sites rather then believing the general people.
