  • New Facebook Messenger vi

    From basschestra@VERT/ABINARY to All on Wed Jun 2 08:39:00 2021
    Hi,
    I received message on messenger from my friend that looked like this:
    It looks like you!

    {Some link}
    And then about minute later I received another message that on that link is virus. Does someone knows about this problem? Is it even a real virus?
    It is really confusing at all.
    I am looking forward your replies,
    Basschestra

    Doubt it's a 'virus,' but might be something that if you click the link
    it wants you to 'sign in' via Facebook to be able to view it. What you
    are likely doing is giving the 'app' access to your Facebook account,
    so it sends out the same link to YOUR friends as if it's from you,
    etc.
