Facebook, a social networking giant started to get lots of scam and spam alerts. Its all because of the 500+ million user base that helps people to drive more traffic by just quoting some messages. Today another spam message spreads in a wild across facebook users that targets mainly indian users. It is about Free Recharge for Airtel, Vodafone and Idea mobile subscribers.
The site asks you to Like the facebook pages linked to it and that ofcourse informs all your friends that you like this Free Recharge offering website and they can try the same. This will surely increases the visit to recharge.imlikingit.info like a wild fire. Finally the users wont get any recharges and this will surely be a disappointment anyhow.
The site uses images to display the progress bar and other recharge icons. So there is no such automated detection system that is deployed in the back end to monitor the number of likes an user do.
