How to avoid and fix facebook scams

Last night I talked to Steve Eager on Fox News DFW 4 about the subject of Poisoned Links or How to avoid Facebook Scams. Here is the clip from the nightly news broadcast.

FACEBOOK SECURITY

If you feel that your account on Facebook has been compromised, please go to http://www.facebook.com/security. There you will find what is currently attacking accounts and how to avoid common scams. Facebook is still really secure and safe. If you follow these steps on that page that Facebook provides, you and your family can avoid these issues.

SOFTWARE THAT PROTECTS SOCIAL SCAMS

There is software that you can install that allegedly keeps you safe from Social Media scams. Head to http://www.sophos.com/lp/threatbeaters/ to learn more.

Sophos LogoSophos has a great site that also teaches you how to avoid these issues too. They have a donwloadable toolkit that you can read more on safety online.

 

FACEBOOK SECURE BROWSING

Finally, if you want ultimate security, turn on the Secure Browsing feature inside the Facebook settings on your account. Look for this below and enable the secure browsing feature. Facebook will make sure that you are the right person for the account and ask you some security questions. The quiz they gave me was identifying my friends via Facebook pictures. Give it a try… It’s like playing a game while ensuring your saftey/security on Facebook.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let me know how it goes for you!

On Fathers Day, my father came by and he got to meet his new grandson. That weekend we played poker at the Butland’s Poker Tournament. In the first game I was the first one out and then the second game I placed second. The point is that I broke even… So I bought Nascar 09 for Xbox 360. Cheers
