As we’ve told you many times before, we’re telling you again – do not click on suspicious links inside your Facebook messages and emails.
There is a new scam out there called ‘Ponbon.Im’ and other URLS ending in ‘.Im’ that people are accidentally clicking on, infecting their computers or accounts.
The ‘.Im’ are previously overtaken accounts that are sending out links to Facebook users. The message has a link inside to a site named ‘ponbon.im’ or other URLs ending in ‘.Im’.
Do not click these links or any other suspicious links in your messages and be weary of third-party sites asking for your user name or password.
There’s currently a big scam running on Facebook and a lot of accounts have been compromised. If you receive an email like check ponbon.im, check 121.im or check 151.im, just delete the email and DO NOT click the link, because it may compromise your account too.
If it happens to visit one of those pages and you don’t use a secure browser, along with an updated antivirus software, you risk to get infected and the virus will use your account to infect others. Also be sure to update your operating system to the latest version and install the latest security updates.
If you clicked one of those links already, clear your browsers cookies and scan your computer with an antivirus software.
Be advised that those websites aren’t the only ones that can infect your computer and there might be many more on FaceBook, so always take care what links you’re visiting.
