So, those of you that have Facebook might have seen the latest spam today. The one that says something along the lines of "In order to prevent spam, you must verify your Facebook account. Click the link below" or something like that.
Now, in the past, I've gotten so much spam from people that DO NOT understand not to click random links! Especially ones that link to "java script:", etc!
So I decide to come up with a "genius" idea. I dig through the spamming javascript code and attempt to modify it. Now it says:
Well, to add credibility to the public service announcement, I add my name to it. Okay, great. I thought people would take that as a sign that they should listen.
Turns out that when even more spam hits, saying something like "Fuck you [censored]s, blahblahblah, vote for Nicole Santos" (who's Nicole Santos anyway?) I take a look and I reason that it's one of the people that got my post. Maybe, maybe not.
Well, this destroys my credibility. People see me as a scapegoat for both the "Verify your account" and "Fuck you [censored]s" spam. Just great. As if I would have created either of those.
My status update on Facebook:
Well, yes. Thank you very much, "friends".
I also happened to get the Dropbox ID of the second spammer, since he happened to be using Dropbox. I see that the javascript code is gone now from his account. Who the fuck is this guy?

I go ahead and unleash that. Activate my own javascript code, creates status update, wall posts, etc. Yes. Some other people go ahead and spread it too.
