Scam alert: you can't see who viewed you on Facebook

[samantha.]

[b]Let's put this matter to rest right now: any Facebook application that offers to reveal who is viewing your profile is a scam. Period.[/b]

Security research firm Sophos posted a memo about a rogue app that was spread on Facebook recently with messages like "OMG ... I can't believe this actually works! Now you really can see who viewed your profile".

The app is bogus. I've asked a Facebook representative about this before and he told me that apps on the site do not have the ability to track who is viewing profiles.
OMG! scam on Facebook

In this particular case, clicking on the link provided in the message takes users to a web page that encourages people to permit an application to access their Facebook profile.

"But do you really want complete strangers to be able to email you, access your personal data and even post messages to any Facebook pages you may administer?" the Sophos post asked.

According to Sophos, nearly 60,000 people have fallen for the latest scam, based on figures from bit.ly using a search on one of the URLs used for this campaign.

Facebook representatives did not return emails and phone calls seeking comment.

Remember to be cautious when adding new applications on Facebook. Try to stick with reputable apps and pay attention to what permissions they seek.

If you have been duped by a scam, you should remove references to it from your News Feed and revoke the right of the app to access your profile via Account > Privacy Settings > Applications > websites.
