Is Facebook profile spy a scam or does it really work? - Mike Langlois - 11-09-2012 06:52 PM

It's a scam designed for people with low self-esteem, Facebook doesn't allow tracking cookies on their site. Basically, it'll only work if the other person is also using spy.

The Facebook Profile Spy app is a scam.
You are seeing it over and over again because it's being spammed all over the internet, including Yahoo!Answers.
It gets deleted (from Y!A) right away because there is a concerted effort by the Community to keep the users safe from these scams and viruses
See & participate at:
http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=answers&fid=205143
Y'all DO know that's a scam right?
There is no "real link"
The LINKS that have been spammed on Y!A for several months are actually a link to fake sites that are scams and maliscious
If you go there , you may be asked to give info to "register"
That info will be used to swindle you.
You may be required to take quizzes or give a cell phone number. Don't do it!
Even just entering their blog-site can put you, your computer ,your security and your pocketbook at RISK
Do NOT take any "quiz" Nor any "Tests" about your fate (ie How will you die?)
Previous TESTS by these scammers have been:
Are you Good or Evil?
Are you Fat or Skinney?
Are you Cute, HOT, or Ugly?
How will you die?
...And of course the phony Facebook Profile Spy.
ALL OF THEM SCAMS AND DANGEROUS.
The scammers are using "Blogspots" for their spam/scams.
Please, in the future ... when you see the question and answer teams that have been spamming all over the Y!A site, just use the report button instead of endangering yourself, and possibly the curious/naive Y!A users that dont realize its a scam. The next cell phone number that they post fees too, could be your friend or relative. And the next computer that they infest, could be your own.
PLEASE REPORT the Q&A at Y!A using the "Report Abuse" Button.
The Blogspots can be reported too:
Just go to:
