 Bad address

I have seen hackers post pictures, and chats with links on them to get you to click on. So far they have been using part of the same address on all the links. If you see the following

http://bit.ly/

 (The link will have other numbers after the ly/ but they change every time)

Do not click on the link. Just ignore it or report it to Facebook



If you do fall for this scam, be sure to do the following

  1. Change your password
  2. Update and scan your system with your anti-virus program
  3. Run a scan with Malwarebytes
  4. After doing steps 1 through 4, change your password again (just in case the program gets your password again before you clean the computer)
