I've seen two versions of this spam claiming to be verification of Facebook social sharing on Digg. One said it's a Facebook verification, the other a Digg verification. Version 1: Sender: Facebook Verification (registration@datonet.at). Text: Thank you for registering with us at Facebook Social. View profile details.

I can only sign up by linking a Pinterest account to my Facebook or Twitter account. Update your profile. The Facebook signup page isn't nearly as informative. The description on the Twitter link page says this allows them to: Read Tweets from your timeline. See who you follow, and follow new people. Post Tweets for you.

This batch of spams looks like Facebook messages -- same colors, fonts, and formatting, and they have a "Go To Profile" button. But they don't mention Facebook. Does the familiar look and feel dupe people into clicking before they read? According to this post , they're selling meds online.

Last month I posted about how Facebook was making money by datamining my friends. You even earn points when other members view your profile. Why should Facebook make all the money, just because they built a cool app that people actually want to use? earn instant cash by just referring your friends. This just feels smarmy.
