It was only a matter of time before scammers took advantage of Facebook users’ disdain for the new timeline profile.
Scammers are dangling bogus instructions on how to go back to the “old” Facebook profile as bait for anti-timeline users, who are then duped into clicking like buttons, inviting friends, viewing YouTube videos, and downloading malicious files.
