Facebook App Spamming....Save Yourself

Facebook, more big = more viral. Facebook App spamming is at its heights, first target of spammers is Facebook Apps because they are easy to get accepted into and they are pretty viral. Some Facebook Apps annoys you by asking for sending invite to your friends, suggest to your friends and send unwanted invitations, But the Greatest Danger are those Apps with “Access my data anytime” permission.
NEVER EVER ! Give permission to such apps, because They can post updates, post on your friends walls, access your pages from YOUR PROFILE ANYTIME.Not all these apps are Spam but most of them are, because why would a trusted App ask you to access your data anytime ? Thats Most probably a spammers mind.

How does this work ?

It ain’t any Hack or something, Facebook has actually given this chance to Developers to access Users data anytime, But why did facebook did so ? God knows or facebook knows. So basically what it do is Spam the link which spammers has setup in the App anytime after you have giver permission. And then the link of the App (or any external link) is spread all over. Mostly such apps will have a Survey Behind them which generates revenue for the spammer whenever you complete one. Check out Herehow to Block these surveys and hit those Bastards (spammers) in the Face :D .

By mistake I gave permission to such App, what now ?

If you have by mistake given permission to such App or in the Past – when you didn’t knew about it – then here’s what to do.

  • Goto this Link
  • Find the Application, which you gave by mistake permissions.
  • Click on Edit, then beside “Access my data any time” there will be a “Remove” button, click on it.
  • Now you have successfully removed these Permission and kicked the spammer in the face, Yippiee !! :-P
