Don't Fall For It

Bill Gates is NOT going to pay you to forward emails and someone on Facebook is NOT going to give you a free iPhone or iPad.  Ever.  It's a scam!  From a web security site:

Facebook users need to learn to think before they ‘like’ and ‘share’ suspicious pages on Facebook. Just because something appears on a friend’s wall, it doesn’t mean that it is from a reliable source, and by giving unknown applications access to your Facebook page, you could unknowingly continue to help to spread scams and earn cash for the spammers.”

Be careful.  I almost never "like" or "share" something unless I'm 110% positive what it is and who is responsible for it.
