Beware of Facebook scam
Posted on | August 12, 2010 | No Comments
Beware and be careful! Try not to be too trustworthy to the new friends you made online, they may not even exist.
SINGAPORE: Social networking sites have increasingly become a prowling ground for cheats.
At least five men in Singapore found out the hard way, after they were conned of over S$1,500 in total.
The men were approached through Facebook by a “Nicole Tay”, who appealed to them for help with her rent.
“Nicole” disappeared after getting the money.
When the victims went to where “Nicole” lived, they were told by the flat owner that the girl never existed.
The victims are in their 20s, and a few have made police reports.
When contacted, three of them said they agreed to lend “Nicole” money as they had never encountered an online cheat before.
One of them said: “At first, she didn’t mention money. We talked normally as friends. One day, she said her landlord was going to kick her out. She also said she was from Hong Kong and somehow that made it more believable. So I gave her S$50″.

Android User: Virus Alert

For all droid users, beware! A new virus that disguise itself as a media player application is sending costly text messages without the users’ consent.
SAN FRANCISCO : Mobile security firm, Lookout, on Tuesday warned that a booby-trapped Movie Player application is infecting Android phones in Russia with a virus that sends costly text messages.
Russia-based Kaspersky Lab discovered the malicious “Trojan” code hidden in a media player application people are enticed to download onto smartphones.
“The new malicious program penetrates smartphones running Android in the guise of a harmless media player application,” Kaspersky said in a blog post.
“The Trojan uses the system to begin sending SMSs to premium rate numbers without the owner’s knowledge or consent, resulting in money passing from a user’s account to that of the cybercriminals.”
The Trojan has apparently only affected handsets operating on Google-backed Android software in Russia.
The Media Player program does ask users to authorize “services that cost you money” prior to installation, according to Lookout, which advised people to protect themselves by refusing to grant such permission.
“With the discovery of this new Android Trojan, it is more important than ever to pay attention to what you’re downloading,” Lookout said.
“Stay alert to ensure that you trust every app you download”.
