Not So Hard After All

Over the weekend, I got a message from someone on

Facebook. I’m not sure if any of you have “accepted” their friend request, but if you get one, just delete it. I don’t think I have her in my friend list, but this shebot made my blood boil. I opened up the message to see this:

REally? Seriously? It’s not hard to control? Geez, I must have missed that class!

Ugh. You can see my response was one of instant anger. I started not to click the link, but I did and all it was was a phishing site to get your information. This kind of stuff really ticks me off and flips my *itchswitch (K2’s term).

After looking and being entirely too upset to see the big button that says “Report Spam”, I clicked on her profile to delve a little deeper. All of her “friends” I suspect are either unknowing people are she- and hebots to make it look like she’s a real person. So, I decided to report her by doing the following:

1. Click the Report/Block This Person link at the bottom of their profile.

2. Select the most appropriate description of who or what you think this person is. I clicked Fake Profile because I believe she’s a bot.

3. Check the Block this person box

4. Submit

 

Then…..

You’ll have a box that pops up and says that you have successfully blocked this person and that Facebook has been notified about the person, however it doesn’t guarantee that the profile/person/bot will be removed.

I know it’s not a guarantee, but maybe it will help. If any of you have problems with hebots and shebots, report them. I hate getting false information, especially when it’s related to diabetes cure hoaxes and snake oil miracle drugs, and we need to do everything we can to stop them.
