I have been seeing many posts on facebook that asks you to copy and paste a code in the comments which appears like this: [Some random numbers:0]+@
The user who posted this asks to remove the + sign before entering it in the comments, and then when you enter it, it will turn into words.

I never did this and never felt safe to do it. But one of the admins on my page posted something related to this and I would like to know whether it is better to delete the post or not.

RE: Copy and Paste Code

Yes WALT, I've encountered those symbols and numbers that will translate from a name with goes to a link from a group or fan page on Facebook. (Entered in comment)

Overall its likely good for fun purpose when its related for the topic however there could be a potential that a scam page may redirect once translated from numbers/symbols.
