Ever since Facebook introduced its feature that allows users to “like” something posted on a friend’s profile, users of the social network have asked for the ability to “dislike” content. Facebook has yet to introduce such a feature — but a new scam is making its rounds and taking advantage of many users.
According to Mashable, the scam entails a status message that says:
I just got the Dislike button, so now I can dislike all of your dumb posts lol!!
or
Get the official DISLIKE button now
Both scams include a link that appears to ultimately capture personal information after navigating through an “install” page.
If Facebook were to introduce such a feature, history demonstrates it would install it directly on its users’ accounts — and not require an installation of anything. It would be wise to avoid any offers, like this, that appear too good to be true and require a download or installation of anything to work.
