New scams pop up everyday - especially when economy hits hard.
Latest scam trend is based on the popular social-media tool, Facebook. Here at Mining101 we like to keep ourselves updated with the latest and greatest, and thus FB is a common tool we use in surveying general population's tastes and future trends.
Data mining, in case you didn't know, is a huge multi-billion dollar business.
What these goofballs are likely up to is selling your contacts, names, addresses, and possibly demographics (if you have it on FB profile) to marketing firms.
You can say bye to having a quiet dinner when at 6pm every night a telemarketer calls to pitch you:
a) condo in West California
b) time share condos in Las Vegas
c) investment in golf course in Nevada
d) tech stocks trading on OTC below $0.001!
Just a heads up to do your due dilligence before submitting your information out to anyone on the internet!
