Facebook investigates fake cancer child post
More than a million people have engaged with the post since it was created at the start of February. She believes that images posted within articles about his illness were then stolen to create the fake post. One security blogger said this appeared to be a case of "Link farming", in which scammers seek to make people interact with a Facebook post so they can either direct further messages to them or sell on the profile and all its contacts. "They may later post something that claims you've won a prize and try and get you to enter your mobile phone number and then sign you up for a premium rate service, or ask for other personal information." "The problem is that people just believe things that are posted online, and they need to be a lot more careful about what they like and share."
