“Several”

This is a very unusual version of the Facebook album scams hitting this week. While it has a lot of the standard characteristics of the others, it doesn’t pretend to be an app; it’s just a nice piece of artwork. It is also lacking the “Try it, really works!” comment.

Here are the three characteristics to watch out for:

1. Fantasy artwork that has little or nothing to do with the member’s interests.
2. Multiple friends will be tagged in the photo. We’ve noticed that the Fantasy Art scam tags twice the number of friends as the other scams.
3. Album name is “several” and the “posted by” name will not be the owner of the Facebook profile.

TIP: If you see that you’ve been tagged in a photo, before clicking, see if it’s a friend of yours. If not, do not click. Ignore. If it is a friend, click through only to see the image. If it’s not a photo of you, leave the page or report it. It’s likely this scam, or one similar.
