Facebook ending? Tupac murder solved?

As I am sure most of you have seen over the past week. Facebook is going away, but on a positive note, Tupac's murder has been solved!! If you believe that, I have some beach front property in Arizona I'd love to sell you for a cheap price!

Ok lets think about this for a minute before we all go re-posting this madness to our status.

Facebook is worth approx $11 billion (or so says various sources on the internet). Why on earth would CEO Mark Zuckerberg just destroy something that is worth so much. Even if the rumors of "the stress of managing this company has ruined my life" were true, why wouldnt he just sell it to the highest bidder! Look at Myspace, since Facebook came along Myspace is almost non existent BUT since it still makes money, it will still survive. Even if a social networking site bigger and better than Facebook came along, they'd still stick it out for the big bucks, and for the jobs it provides. Facebook will be around for a very long time. Just don't click on things like this. Remember, if it doesnt look legit... it's probably not. It's the car accident of 2011, you have to pull the car over and stare and tell everyone what you just saw. Chances are good clicking on things like this will cause you to get a.. (everyone together now) VIRUS!

As for Tupac. this goes back to that shortened link post that I posted. People that clicked on it were sent to a site requesting permission for a application to access their information including name, user identification, and list of friends. Repeat after me class.. "If it doesn't look legit, it's probably not" Learn it, live it, love it lol.

And the new little gem to be added to facebook was a link sent through Facebook chat stating that your photos had been removed! EEP! Have no fear! All you need to do to retrieve them is to click on this little link giving u access to an app called app.facebook.com/CENSORED. Clicking on it automatically downloaded a strain of malware onto your system. (If any of you did this, now would be a good time to make sure your virus software is up to date)

Basically, before you go click happy on Facebook, stop and think. If someone posts something, like the Tupac thing for example, and you just HAVE to see if its true.. Google it. Chances are good you'll come across a site exposing the scam and then you can do the good thing and link the scam report to your friends on facebook instead of passing on the scam.

All of the infomation I learned about these scams I read on a wonderful site called http://www.securitynewsdaily.com. Take a few minutes to check it out sometime.
