Survey scams are well known online, they offer money or free items for just filling out a survey. It's a classic too good to be true scheme, but it still manages to scam people. The latest warning comes from Facebook, where users think they're adding an application for a dislike button (which has been a demand for users on the website). What happens is the app uses your account to spam messages with links, which tries to fool your friends into thinking you posted them. “Many people are giving permission for completely unknown apps,” Mr Cluley told BBC News. As far as we can tell, they appear to be legitimate,” he said. “It could be that the firms are not policing their affiliates properly.” The scam finally points users towards a Firefox add-on that installs a “dislike” button.”-BBC added by: Mcellie
