Remove your Facebook Timeline scams Hitting inbox


Remove your Facebook Timeline scams Hitting inbox




Just after the launch of Facebook, mane users started complaining and searching ways to remove it. Now spammers are also trying to take advantage of this. According to the report published onNakedsecurity, an email is hitting the inbox and offering users tools to remove timeline.
If you click on this link, it will take you to a website created registered in Turkey. This website also encourages users to install a Firefox or Chrome add-on to remove the Facebook Timeline from your account.


sophos labs is analysing these add-ons to know whether they are malicious or not. Till then, it has given an advice not to use these add-ons and extensions.
When user tries to install these add-ons, it will show terms of use. This is shown in Turkish but there is a linw in english which reads,
"If you are not living in Turkey don't use this plugin, this is for only users who living in Turkey."
This line is confusing why this is only for turkey people.
