Facebook, it’s all fun until you get hijacked!
My advice? Just say NO to Facebook (games).
If you need just one reason to avoid Facebook games, THIS could be it.
If you have ever lamented the time you realize you have spent playing a game on Facebook, I can assure you it will PALE in comparison to the time you spend getting not only your Facebook account straightened out, and possibly the use of your PC as well, not to mention your street cred on Facebook if you make one errant click.
This article on gdgt.com explains in simple terms how to avoid getting tricked.
An excerpt from the article, a “gold nugget” in my opinion is this:
To protect yourself from being fooled, make sure to never allow an extension to be installed that you didn't specifically want, and always be suspicious of strange messages, even if they are from people you normally trust.
In case it is not readily apparent, I am NOT a fan of Facebook games in general, for multiple reasons including privacy and security setting most of these apps allow. So if you are a fan of Facebook games, no need to write me a nastygram, just don’t invite me and we’ll be good.
