Justin Bieber “Free Tickets” Fraud and Scams Alert on Facebook

August 21, 2010

in News, tickets

Justin Bieber fans on Facebook must be aware of this new online scam. Bieber fans have been the target of web conmen in a scam that will apparently offer them free tickets to a Bieber concert.

Someone is targeting Bieber’s Facebook friends with a link to bogus free ticket giveaways for a U.S. tour.

The ad message says, “Wow! Justin Bieber is giving away free tickets now! I just snagged 4 tickets!”

If you click the link the person is brought onto another page that offers you a service that will use your Facebook to further their scam. If you agree to let an application post messages on your wall and post statuses for a subscription rate of $7 per week (this appears on your phone bill after you give them your mobile number to sign up), you will get free tickets.

After they steal $7 from you they use your Facebook to post the same message again to steal from all your friends in your name who fall for the same trap. The scam is spreading virally on internet.

plz take the time 2 this:

This is A TRUE STORY AND IF YOU DON’T PASS THIS ON YOU DON’T
HAVE A SOUL!!!

My name is Chris ,
I am three,
My eyes are swollen..
I cannot see.

I must be stupid,
I must be bad,
What else could have made,
My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better,
I wish I weren’t ugly,
Then maybe my mommy,
Would still want to hug me.

I can’t do a wrong,
I can’t speak at all,
Or else I’m locked up,
All day long.

When I’m awake,
I’m all alone,
The house is dark,
My folks aren’t home.

When my mommy does come home,
I’ll try and be nice,
So maybe I’ll just get,
One whipping tonight.

I just heard a car,
My daddy is back,
From Charlie’s bar

I hear him curse,
My name is called ,
I press myself,
Against the wall.

I try to hide,
>From his evil eyes,
I’m so afraid now,
I’m starting to cry.

He finds me weeping,
Calls me ugly words,
He says its my fault,
He suffers at work.

He slaps and hits me,
And yells at me more,
I finally get free,
And run to the door.

He’s already locked it,
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me,
Against the hard wall.

I fall to the floor,
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues,
With more bad words spoken.

‘I’m sorry!’, I scream,
But it’s now much to late,
His face has been twisted,
Into a unimaginable sh ape.

The hurt and the pain,
Again and again,
O please God, have mercy!
O please let it end!

And he finally stops,
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless,
Sprawled on the floor.

My name is Chris ,
I am three,
Tonight my daddy,
Murdered me.

And you can help,
Sickens me to the soul,
If you read this,
And don’t pass it on.

I pray for your forgiveness,
You would have to be,
One heartless person,
Not to be affected,
By this Poem.

And because you ARE affected,
Do something about it!
So all I ask you to do,
Is pass this on!

IF YOU ARE AGAINST CHILD ABUSE!
Post this as ‘Daddy … It hurts’

If you do not send this to everyone you know
Then you obviously don’t care about child abuse.

At first I thought this was just a chain letter
And I wasn’t going to send it either,
But now I realize that this is an important situation.

At least 5 children each day from around the world die from child abuse!!!!

This happens across the board, no matter how much money they have or their ethnicity.
Please help.
