Sorry To All My Apsense friends And Contacts
Recently this week, I logged into my Facebook account and the shocking thing was; I saw a message from one of my best friends.She was telling me how much she like a photo which I was tagged in with her.
She did not know that I didn't tagged her in any of my photos and that I didn't sent it out to her or any of my friends.The claim was saying this message:
{Friend's name} I really love my new iPad2! playing angry birds on it is so fun haha! I received it today from fedex and I paid nothing which is pretty exciting :) They are only giving a limited supply in each area so I dont think this will last long. This is where I got it from, hopefully you can get one to http://tcrohngj.tcrohngj.acgb.info/?tcrohngj "
There was also a tagged photo of an Ipad 2 in which I have tagged all my friends including the recipient friend telling the named friend of mine to take actions and get it free.
Well,what I worry most is the trust my beloved friends who might think that I did such a thing to them but I am totally speechless over this.
The way it is so complicated that it even got my names, friends' names as well as accessing my Facebook profile left me with more questions than answers.Currently,I have more than 4 hundreds friends who have receive this same "Photo Tagging thing"
To make it short,if you as my friend on Facebook has received this "Photo Tag" saying that Malok has tagged you in his photo,kindly please help me by reporting this to Facebook or delete it completely.
I have my principles and morals which define how I interact, contact and share with people around me including my friends.
Otherwise, I would like to caution others too to be careful lest such things might happen to them.
Facebook in recent years has been trying to fight spam and hacking but still this crook guys are still destroying people's name and image with such things.
So please, to any annoyed friend/contact believe me that I never intended to do you anything as this.

hiding your profile so only friends can see it is good if you are an individual, however if you are a business then you cant do it or you will not be seen/found.

yeep Pattyde,i know that..
That is a program(i don't know exactly to say it) from a product software to make money on fb.now,you must close your wall/profile,go to account setting,clik;you don't want take everything(ex:notifications,poke,massege)from fb to your email.
Then,clik privacy setting,choose:only me for all coloum.so only you can see your wall,your photo's,everything.
Hope will be help:)

received it and immediately traced it back to your account - I then reported it as spam and removed it form my facebook and myspace accounts. at it was there as well - It was reported as spam as this was the only option that would get the admins attention - you say you don't know how it happened - simple you gave your password to someone - that someone is the admin of a dubious program that you are a member of and you have used the same password in both places

Hi Kat,I was completely hopeless and worried a lot that I had made my friends as well as family by sending them unsolicited contents.Thanks for knowing me.Others will take heed of this.Once beaten twice shy is my new motto.Lol

Malok, I did get tagged in that same photo, but i knew you didn't do it! No worries here! great for you to bring that up here! Hope everyone changes their settings to secure their accounts so this doesn't have the chance to happen. Its sad that someone will always find a way to screw things up for others!

You should find that they no longer show up on your wall.

Facebook has seen a sudden spurt of activity during the last few month and many people are trying for a short cut through unfair means. Malok its great you shared this photo tagging nuisance and thanks Cheryl for the detailed solution...just deactivated my settings.

What a great article and good information. @cheryl, thank you for all the information about facebook safety. I am an avid facebook user to stay in touch with my family. I am also trying to make it a reliable business contact for my company. So all that you said is a big help to me.
Thank you again.

Not to be in the tag application or photo / video that we do not want, set up a privacy account on the column right.You can choose who gets to tag or block application.Hope can help your fb.

@Phillipe any time you use an app it will change to unsecured log in. Supposedly if you log out then log back in it is set back on https. The apps don't use https because they are third party apps linking into FB
