Post subject:  Alert About Facebook!
I just wanted to warn Holy Worlds Facebook users of this scam. I got messages off several Holy Worlders last night through chat on FB saying that they had made a photoshop image of me, Tim, Caleb and several others also got the same message off me. Because some of us are into art it is easy to think oh and click on it so I just wanted to warn you guys that it is a scam, and a computer guy has told me that it carries the Trojan virus (I was also given a link off someone who had the message which explains it as well.) If you get a link sent to you through your chat bar saying this Do Not Click on it! I just wanted to warn you all of it!

Love in Christ

Ah! I was just told this last night! Thankfully, I haven't been in chat, so I was saved! Thanks for sharing this, Elanor.

Thanks for the alert!

Do you all have the secure "https" connection for Facebook (As opposed to "http")?

I've had several nasty experiences with viruses recently. I'm going to become paranoid on the computer. :P

Thanks again!

HTTPS will only help to keep people, who are near you, from hacking into your account...
I might have hopped on one persons account this way. They had to be on the same wi-fi network as me though. :twisted:

Other then that https won't really save you.

EDIT: I kinda had a rant here :)

So basically, keep the https and a good security system, si? :)

Probably. HTTPS also seems to cut my access to my applications. :P

While I'm not on Facebook, I will keep this in mind because sometimes I look at the page.

Good grief! Thanks for poking me in this direction, Wren. I had no idea there were so many questions being flung at me!!!

No, of course I did not! ;)

I actually received an e-mail with this scam message. But I hadn't opened it yet. My chat comment was in reference to not having been in chat at all that day, so I had not heard about this. *rolls eyes at such confusion *

Does that clear things up for ya'll?
