Facebook chain letter posts: Not just stupid, but risky

There’s a post making the rounds on Facebook that says you’re going to have to start paying for your profile. Like many other posts, it’s false and risky. Attackers who use social engineering tricks will study your behavior so they can concoct the scam you’re most likely to fall for. If a friend of yours forwards you the message, admonish them for spreading a chain letter and suggest they inform all their friends that they were mistaken. If you’re gullible enough to post this stuff, they reason, you’re also going to open links you shouldn’t trust.”]
