Security researchers from the Internet security firm, PandaLabs, recently discovered a number of scams involving a rising demand for hacks on soocial networking sites. One scamstood out  in particular, which offered to give gullible wannabe hackers access to any Facebook profile, all for a small cost of course.

The website only asks for the ID of the account you want to gain access to, it then scrapes information like the users name and other details in an attempt to appear more legit. Then all you have to do is sed some of your own private details, along with $100 to some place in Ukraine and you’ll be able to download the username and password to access the Facebook account. Simple, yes?

Don’t fall for these scams!
