WARNING: Users Cannot Change The Colors Of Their Facebook Profiles
No matter how bored you may have become with Facebook’s blue color scheme, do not fall for messages and images that promise to turn your Facebook profile black, or other colors: A blue Facebook is still better than falling victim to a hijacked account or a survey scam.
No matter how bored you may have become with Facebook’s blue color scheme, do not fall for messages and images that promise to turn your Facebook profile black, or other colors: A blue Facebook is still better than falling victim to a hijacked account or a survey scam.
Sophos’ Naked Security blog reported a rising number of Facebook messages, images, and event invitations promising users that they can change the color of their Facebook profiles, with one leading to a page titled, “Change Your Facebook Color,” and displaying the following (unedited) message:
Are you sick fo that boring old blue theme? Well now you have the power to change your facebook color to anything your heart desires.
The page then automatically clicks that unsuspecting users have accepted its terms and conditions, and directs users to online surveys, which earn money for the scammers, according to Naked Security.
