Facebook warns users of ‘dislike’ scam

FACEBOOK members have been warned of a rogue “dislike” feature luring users into giving away personal information to scammers.

The social networking website said it was investigating examples of the scam which tricks members into giving away permission to access their profile pages.

The scam was launched amid calls for the introduction of an official dislike feature to accompany the “like” button already in place, according to IT security firm Sophos.
