Facebook Timeline removal scams are not new, but this time cybercrooks took it up a notch and launched a phishing campaign that relies on the fact that some users are outright desperate to remove the newly introduced feature.
In reality, the Timeline is here to stay and like it or not everyone who still wants to use Facebook will have to accommodate to the change.
However, until all Facebook users get accustomed to this idea, phishers and other scammers will keep making shady sites that either want just a few Likes or, in some cases, the user's entire profile.
