Are You Getting Scammed by Facebook Games?

Facebook has a responsibility here. It is easy to be scammed online. And we, with any online accounts, are vulnerable. What we really need is a consumer bill of rights. Online scams are supplanting traditional scams. The laws need to catch up.

in reference to:

"Mafia Wars, FarmVille, Restaurant City — have become surprisingly effective at diverting timewasters among the social networking crowd. More than 63 million people play FarmVille alone. But now accusations have surfaced that the games can lead some more gullible players, including children, into Internet scams, especially if they have a cell phone."
