Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 15, 2014 if you get a link to update any of your facebook info like phone number etc do not do it -have had a rash of people I know this week that have created clone sites for the pirates - then they change the password so you no longer have control over the clone page. it has all of your personal info and even your photos so everyone friends it without question. then everyone that has friended it has now given up thier friends list to the pirates. everything is very convincing. be careful out there. here is the OLD info on this from last year - looks like they may have refined the methods as it is spreading at an incredible rate. heck 2 friends even posted they had accidentially created the second account and assured everyone it was ok - until the passwords got changed and locked out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
