Jv Duque Just don’t click on and messages that have links. Specially if its from an unknown source. But if it came from a friend, but suspicious title and link, ask your friend before opening it if they sent it. Change passwords, clear cache and browsing history regularly. Check your account settings for any suspicious things in there like an unknown secondary email and remove them.

There are a lot of spamming applications on FB most specially those that you have to click “LIKE”. Those automatically add an application to your account that automatically sends to your friends etc etc. You can go to Application Setting…s on FB and check those applications under “Authorized”, you’ll be surprised you may have a lot of applications “Authorized” to give out your info that you never even added on your account. Delete those from the list, clear cache and browsing history, change password too. Then check again after restarting another browsing session.See More
