See who has viewed your profile scam

If you see this on a friend's post

Wow! Big Thanks Goes Out To The Facebook Team for FINALLY Giving Us Something To Check Our Profile views With! Launched TODAY, This is What We All Been Waiting For! Check it out: website address would be here. (the address will change per post. I am not displaying the address for security reasons)

The post you see may not be the exact wording as above but it will have to do with finding out about profile views so don't be alarmed if what you see is different than what is above.

If you click on it, you will see the following screen. (there is numerous different versions of this so the pages and actions may be different than what you see here but it is still the same)

The above screen will want you to click Like. When you click like, it will post a comment on your page allowing all your friends to see it and possibly get your friends to click on the link.

It will then have you continue to the App. If it doesn't infect your system, then it will get personal information from you and will also try to get your cell phone number. When it does, it will try to sign you up for services that will cost you.

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

Change your password
Update and scan your system with your anti-virus program
Run a scan with Malwarebytes
After doing steps 1 through 4, change your password again (just in case the program gets your password again before you clean the computer)
If you are still experiencing problems, you may have to get more in depth with your troubleshooting. use the Virus Troubleshooter for assistance.
