Don't even click on them.  That is all it takes in some instances. You are right @Kachina  their pockets are the important thing.  People have been getting hacked for years.  Also, Messenger is also bad news.  I know several that have been hacked on there.

There have even been stories posted here on the Forum, how they saw a good sale, named brand clothing, and it was nothing but a scam, they complained to FB and yet FB did nothing.....

 

The BAD thing...now most employers require you to have a FB account (ya gotta attend all those Zoom Meetings dont ya know, and thats how they communicate and keep everyone informed is through FB....(doesnt sound very secure to me).....Even the non-profit I volunteer for, thats how they communicate with volunteers and participants.......  Gee I was hoping that someone would buy My Space and turn it into a first rate social media communication center....well Time Inc. bought and its a whole different platform now...what a shame! 

 

And so many people have been hacked through Messenger....SMH....Personally I wish I didnt have to use either FB or Messenger!
