  • Facebook customers who comply with the demands and Share and Comment on a shady event page are requested to click on a link that points to an app called Change2Green. This application can later be utilized by crooks to make posts on the user’s behalf to promote this and other malicious scams. After the app is allowed access to the profile, the victims are presented with a page that permits them to choose their location between the US and UK. Once that is done, a pop-up window informs that they are the lucky winners of a prize. This is where the fraudsters start making bundles of money. First they ask the user to enter his/her mobile number in order to win an iPad. This is actually a subscription trap which signs up users to services that cost a lot. In the next phase, a number of classic surveys are presented, each promising more fabulous prizes. While no one gets them or the green Facebook profile, the scam artists earn large sums each time someone completes a survey or enters a phone number. Other versions of this scam are called Facebook Green, Get 1,000,000 People To Join And We Will Turn Facebook Green, and Install Green F.A.C.E.B.O.O.K.
