Yesterday I reported on the latest scam going around. I provided some links to block some known applications. I started looking for more of these links and figured out how to block them all. It's very easy. I should have known how to do this but I didn't. Today I got another post from a different group claiming if I clicked on it I would get 10,000 Reward Points. I would think these guys would be smart enough to know that their unrealistic offers will prevent people from clicking on their "App". If they made it 5 or 10 Reward Points, it might be more believable.
I found if you click on the source of the link, you will be directed to the fan page associated with the application. Do NOT click on anything but the small print on the bottom of the post. On this one, I clicked on "MultiGameRewards" and found myself on their fan page. I went to the left side of the page where it says Go to Application and underneath that clicked on "Block Application". Now any type of posts send out by this sight will be blocked. Do NOT click on anything but Block Application.
