The ePrivacy app is yet another Facebook scam
The message, “OMG OMG OMG… I cant believe this really works! Now you really can see who viewed your profile! on [link]," is shown with the newest scam on Facebook which is actually the ePrivacy app.
Staying up to date on everyone in our lives is what we do as Facebook users. We also want to know which of our friends is spending time checking on our profile. This is why the ePrivacy app seems like something everyone wants. It will show you everyone who is looking at your Facebook profile supposedly which would be awesome. Don't fall for it though. Your personal info could be given to the app creator though which is why it is a bad idea to download the app.
You don't see who has looked at your profile; you will get a virus
Just admit that this app entices you. Knowing who has been checking you out online is something everyone wants. Scammers are taking advantage of the fact Facebook users have been searching for a way to view who’s viewing their Facebook profiles. In fact, there have even been petitions. They know what people want, and they’ll use anything they can to their advantage.
If you don’t want complete strangers accessing your personal data, sending you e-mails and posting unauthorized messages on any Facebook page you administer, do not install the ePrivacy app or any other app that claims to do the same thing. These individuals who start these scams don't care about your or your info. They just want to make money with your Facebook profile.
