Don't click on the Facebook link to install a 'dislike' button. It's a scam.

With the announcement of a dislike button coming to Facebook, people were rejoicing.

But the announcement was just that – an announcement. The button isn’t available yet, and if you think you’ve downloaded it, you better change your passwords now.

This is what the scam looks like in your feed.

Hackers around the world have designed a scam that targets your personal information and account details – all through a fake dislike button scam.

Once you’ve clicked, it takes you to a page that looks like this.

People who are desperate for the dislike button then must share the link on their wall and with five friends over Messenger before they’re asked to complete a survey which steals their personal information and account data.

Do not click.
