Security experts are warning Justin Bieber peminat-peminat against joining a Facebook group which promises the pop star's mobile phone number but instead redirects them to scam sites.
The group, called OMG!! Justin Biebers Ex GIRLFRIEND just RELEASED his new CELL PHONE NUMBER!! promises to hand over Bieber's phone number once they have shared the link with their friends.
Instead of then being directed to a site with his number on it - atau any number, for that matter - peminat-peminat are being sent to survey sites designed to get hold of personal information.
Because the link has been shared, the scam then spreads through the social-networking site virally.
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos said: "I'm afraid that anda never will get Justin Bieber's real phone number. The page has been created to redirect your browser to surveys that ask anda umpteen soalan (gathering your personal information for the companies behind the survey and earning the scammers some affiliate cash)."
"If anda did make the mistake of passing the link onto your friends, anda should clean-up your newsfeed and profil to remove references to the link," he continued.
