Facebook post scam BEWARE 89

in #facebook8 years ago (edited)

THIS IS FOR ANYONE WHO USES FACEBOOK

I have stopped using it as basically it pees me off with people's stupid statuses and all the posts about animal abuse.

I went on yesterday to check what was going on were I saw a post about hairstyles for the over 40s, I saw a style I really liked so stupidly clicked on it, when I went to click next hairstyle a pop up arrived saying thank you for your supscription, I then received a text message saying they had subscribed me. I then text the Stop number then received this.

FreeMsg: Thank You. You have been successfully unsubscribed from Funforyou Infotainment Hairstyles, provided by FunForYou. HELP? 08000689042

I wasn't quuck enough as they had already charged me £4.50.
The company is called FunForYou. Not much fun actually as its a scam.


Thank you son-of-satire

Oh nice Thank you :)

@Karen. Thanks for raising such awareness. The scam on FB now is really getting much but if not for FB i wouldn't have been able to get to know about Steemit. Everyone really has to be very careful.

Your welcome, I am usually more aware but wasn't concentrating on what i was doing, I am more aware now

If you've not sent the SMS, you wouldn't have been charged anything.

I sent it straight away was charged instantly

Because you replied, you were charged. If you didn't reply, you wouldn't have been charged.

Ah I see, stupid me

Im leaving FB more and more (sadly a major part of my network for income has FB as their Main communication channel) ... And i do all i can taking as many as i can with me over here to Steemit.
Especially those who post "sensitive" facts ... And wanna avoid being censured.
(selling point Nr1 for Steemit imo)

I don't blame you, Facebook brings me down

This is incredible, thank you very much dear friend @ karenb54 for this data
Have a great day

Thank you for the visit, becareful and take care :)

Good catch. I don't use fb anymore either, except to post steemit stuff. I know this makes Zuckerburg nervous.Shared on twitter and fb

Thank you, Its so scary what they can do now

Oh that's cunning. I wonder if it is a kiwi running the company. It sounds like something one of us would come up with hehehe.

I guess that is something to be aware of in future. Thanks for sharing and letting us know. :-)

It was you, give me my money back lol :)

If it was me I would give it back hehehe

Yeah yeah you haves probably spent it on beer lol :)
