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.

I have deactivated the settings on FB for tagging with photos. So now things are much smoother. Thats the only to stay away from spam.

People comes first and follows by personal interest,if they can't allow one to remain with their default settings why bother themselves with privacy?

Just remember this is FB and when they change something it tends to reset all of your settings to default

If you go to your FB account and click on settings and then notifications, you can turn off tagging for photos and videos. That way those 'notifications' (Spam links) will not show up on your profile and you won't click them. More importantly your 'nosy' contacts won't click on them either.

@cheryl,thanks for the tip and feedback too.@Wincer,It is good that it is not here and if it does,the whole of this network will be down to crash and we won't have such a safe one like this on the net.
To all,lets' make it a task to keep this place home and avoid future destruction!

Thanks for the info, Cheryl, I will be careful from now on. Is it a good idea to check the friend's profile? I guess what Malok's friend did was the wtg, i.e. make him aware of it.

Don't click any link on FB saying you were tagged in a photo or video. This has been around on FB for a few years now.
