Keel M. Posted October 25, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Facebook users who've clicked viral links such as 'Click This if You Hate Cancer' could be in for a nasty surprise.

Once the pages have collected huge numbers of 'Likes', they are then sold, for cash, to other businesses who use them to make their page appear popular. A blog post by Daylan Pearce, a search-engine expert at Next Digital in Melbourne, explains how the nonsense posts scam works - and shows how the pages are sold on.

Wickian Posted October 25, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Still isn't as bad as the people who put their whole lives up on facebook, including the happenings of people they know/family, and make dumb comment after comment for attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuriousGreek Posted December 8, 2012 #4 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I've never liked (not even clicked on) pages, for which i've seen recommendations, such as ''click here''...i'll like whatever i want to, let alone i was always finding those pages suspicious..!
