This particular scam has met pretty much everyone. Presented as an application coming to dispense with the boring blue theme of Facebook, but actually designed to steal your personal data. In fact, once you fall into the trap application postage above picture to your Timeline tags with dozens of friends in order to attract even more potential victims.

2. Who sees your profile

This scam takes advantage of the curiosity of some users over who sees their profiles on Facebook.
