Scammers are tricking Facebook users again into installing rogue apps on their accounts by promising them the ability to see who viewed their profile the most.
According to Facecrooks, one such scam currently circulating on the social network spreads messages that read:
The advertised link takes users to a rogue Facebook app called "See Who Viewed Your Profile" which asks them for access to post on their walls.
People who misguidedly install the app and give it the requested permissions, will end up spamming their friends with the aforementioned message.
After the application is installed, users are presented with a "Your Top Stalkers" page which displays a list of users with a generic pic and a locket.
A pop-up window claims that viewing the content requires verifying their account by completing one of several survey.
