Facebook Code From Friends

[Glendora Starr]

Fraudstersare increasingly targeting social media accounts as a means to trick victims into giving up personal information, sending money, or clicking on dangerous links. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center [*]:

Facebook Messenger scams occur when fraudsters use the Messenger app to con Facebook users into sending money or gift cards, giving up personal information that could lead to identity theft, or clicking on malicious links.

The possibility of losing money to a Facebook Messenger scammer can be devastating, but an even more serious consequence is the loss of sensitive personal information which puts you at risk of identity theft.

Sometimes, these links lead to fake websites that prompt you to enter login credentials so the scammer can access your accounts. Other links contain malware that can infect your device with a virus that steals sensitive data.

Scammers sometimes pose as Facebook friends who need help gaining access to an online account, and want to send you a two-factor authentication (2FA) code. In reality, the scammer has already found your login information (username and password) and only needs a 2FA code to gain access to your account.

Fraudsters send phishing messages claiming they recently received thousands of dollars through a new government grant and encourage their targets to apply [*]. But the applications often request sensitive information, such as your Social Security number (SSN), bank account information, or credit card number.

Posing as a friend in an emergency situation is the oldest Facebook Messenger scam in the book. But recently, scammers have added a fresh twist to this scam with the help of face and voice-altering technology.

Alternatively, Is there a way I can add something like the facebook search, where a user can start typing out a name and have facebook bring up search results. Again the only thing I need are the names. (I don't need friends' emails, profile info etc)

Even with any approval, for just listing the names of your friends there is no possible way anymore. You dont need to get user_friends approved (it is approved by default), but it will only show the friends who authorized your App too, as you already found out.

I wrote my own code to draw the great circle arcs, although I later found a CRAN package called geosphere that would have done it for me (albeit with rougher lines near the poles). I drew the great circle arcs in a way that was easy to derive but slow to compute. I bisected the lines recursively, finding their great circle midpoint, until they were short enough to resemble an arc. To find the great circle midpoint, I converted from spherical coordinate to Cartesian, found the midpoint, then converted back to spherical coordinates and extended the radius.

Facebook scams include a range of grifts occurring on Facebook or appearing to come from the company itself. Facebook scammers use numerous tactics, including fake accounts (posing as friends or legitimate companies), fraudulent giveaways, Facebook Marketplace scams, and more.

Work-from-home jobs are highly sought after, with over half of the U.S. workforce wanting to work remotely [*]. Scammers on Facebook and other social media platforms take advantage of this by offering fake jobs to unsuspecting victims.

It may start as simply as being asked to fill out a job application with information requested such as your Social Security number (SSN) and bank account details. But the application is really just a ploy to steal your personal information.

Even if you stay on top of the latest Facebook scams, cybercriminals are always adapting and finding new ways to target you. If you end up getting scammed on Facebook, you need to act quickly to limit the damage and secure your accounts.

With Supervised Friending, parents can choose to allow their kids to also accept, reject, add or remove contacts, while maintaining the ability to override any new contact approvals from the Parent Dashboard. When a kid takes a friending action, parents will be notified through Messenger and can override any new connections made by going to the Parent Dashboard, where they will also be able to see a log of recent activities.

As a parent, you can add anyone with an existing Facebook account as a contact for your child on Messenger Kids. If your contacts have children, you can also send a request for their child to connect with yours on Messenger Kids.

Kids often build community through their classes at school, participating in a team sport or other extracurricular activities. Just as parents allow a teacher or coach to help their child navigate classroom or team friendships, this new feature gives parents the choice to approve a similar adult to help connect their child with other kids through a group in Messenger Kids. These approved adults can only connect kids whose parents have also granted this adult the same approval.

An adult (example: teacher) may send you a link requesting permission to add your child to a group chat and add contacts for your child. You should only approve this request for people you know and trust.

No worries, though, you can learn to spot scammers and keep yourself safe on social media platforms like Facebook Messenger. You can also add extra protection by including identity theft protection to your security stack. The best ones include social media monitoring to help alert you if your account is breached or a link looks suspicious.

Hackers will get into the profile of one of your Facebook friends and send you a message. The message will usually tell you about some free government money and how they filled out the form and got the cash. Delete this and let your friend know by another method that their account was hacked.

Scams on Facebook Marketplace will try to lure you in with too-good-to-be-true prices and then ask for payment in gift cards or even to move the conversation off Messenger. All of these point to the sale being a scam. Report the seller immediately and block the message.

A scammer may try to get you to sign up for an account, verify your Facebook credentials, or click a link to get a coupon code for a product, service, or restaurant you follow. The link may be a phishing attempt or malware that downloads onto your computer.

The next few steps will depend on what information you gave the scammer. You may need to contact your financial institution to watch for fraudulent charges. If you have identity theft protection (you should have identity theft protection), then contact their support and ask for the next steps. Contact your local police department and report the scam. Finally, file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), which is a branch of the FBI.

Never click links, pay for something with gift cards, or go to a site off of Facebook to access a deal, purchase, or donation. Never share personal information such as a credit or debit card number or your Social Security number (SSN).

This number was first proposed in the 1990s by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who found a correlation between primate brain size and average social group size.[3] By using the average human brain size and extrapolating from the results of primates, he proposed that humans can comfortably maintain 150 stable relationships.[4] There is some evidence that brain structure predicts the number of friends one has, though causality remains to be seen.[5]
