Facebook users warned vs $9.99 ‘gold membership’ hoax
26 September 2011
Facebook users were warned over the weekend against a new scam claiming the social networking giant may charge a $9.99 “gold membership” unless users forward a message before midnight.
Computer security firm Sophos said the hoax has duped many users into “sharing” the message with their online friends, lest they be charged between $3.99 and $9.99 a month.
