Facebook and Scams – More Needs to Be Done

Anti-scam websites have been begging Facebook to pay more attention to fighting against a very viral type of Facebook hoax that exploits pictures of sick babies. While Facebook has responded, even they conceded that their “Report This Photo” feature isn’t working as well as it should be. The company is thus looking to improve its automatic system for detecting malicious activity on the social network by scanning for hoax images that are constantly being shared again and again. In the meantime, be careful not to be taken in by scams online particularly people asking you for money.
