Pet Peeve of the Day
September 22nd, 2010Facebook spam.
The spam-prevention system Facebook has in place is explained over here, but as you’ll see by the comments on that thread there are still a few bugs in the system. Here’s a comment from September 9 from one Alan Page:
Google “The Secret of Real Work At Home Success” site:facebook.com and you will see about 3,430,000 results. Someone is creating fake accounts and posting this spam ‘comment’ on thousands of groups. This has been going on for over a week and Facebook is doing nothing about it! The volume of spam indicates that it must be automated.
I just did, and I got 4,340,000 results. Looks like the problem is getting worse, not better.
