Security experts are warning Justin Bieber những người hâm mộ against joining a Facebook group which promises the pop star's mobile phone number but instead redirects them to scam sites.
The group, called OMG!! Justin Biebers Ex GIRLFRIEND just RELEASED his new CELL PHONE NUMBER!! promises to hand over Bieber's phone number once they have shared the link with their friends.
Instead of then being directed to a site with his number on it - hoặc any number, for that matter - những người hâm mộ are being sent to survey sites designed to get hold of personal information.
Because the link has been shared, the scam then spreads through the social-networking site virally.
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos said: "I'm afraid that bạn never will get Justin Bieber's real phone number. The page has been created to redirect your browser to surveys that ask bạn umpteen các câu hỏi (gathering your personal information for the companies behind the survey and earning the scammers some affiliate cash)."
"If bạn did make the mistake of passing the link onto your friends, bạn should clean-up your newsfeed and thông tin các nhân to remove references to the link," he continued.
