Everytime a mate posts one on Facebook I try and educate them then report the originating page to Facebook but I think Facebook need to automate the searching of pages for the phrases used etc and auto ban them

There are also a lot of people on FB who don't use secure passwords and get their accounts hacked. The hackers then send out friend requests to all the addresses in the person's hacked account pretending to be the friend. If you reply to the request, you're sure to get spammed. This happened the other day to one of my friend's account on FB. The site's just a minefield of danger.

All these Facebook like & share things are scams, take the unsealed brand new iPhones ones for example that pop up every time a new iPhone is released

These scams all prey on people wanting something for nothing. Common sense should tell you that you get nothing for free in this world normally.

It also shows that many Facebook users are more likely to click on links/like/share without a thought.
