How To Reject fake friends on social media.

Connecting with strangers on Facebook and Twitter may gain you more friends and followers, but it also leaves you vulnerable to scammers and spammers. Be aware, if you’re tempted to accept a friend request from a stranger or allow someone to follow you, that around 83 million Facebook accounts are thought to be fake and many of these are used for nefarious purposes.

  

First, check the person’s Facebook profile (if you can) to verify they are who they say they are. Who are their friends? Where do they live? Have they shared any content aside from their profile photo? Best of all, try searching for their profile photo using an image search engine to see if the picture has been stolen from elsewhere. To do this, save the photo to your Desktop, then go to TinEye (www.tineye.com) or Google Images (images.google.co.uk) and upload the picture to search for matches across the web. You can report a fake account to Facebook by clicking the three-dot icon on its cover photo and choosing Report. 

Fake accounts on Twitter can follow you without asking permission and may tweet links to malicious sites or pester you and your real followers with spam or porn. Many such accounts have eggs for profile pictures because they haven’t changed Twitter’s default settings, but others use photos of real people and not all egg accounts are fakes. 

There are several tools that scan your list of followers to determine which profiles aren’t genuine, but these often charge you to reveal the findings and let you block the offenders. Fortunately, a helpful chap called Clayton Lambert offers a couple of free scripts for weeding out fake Twitter followers, called Block & Remove Fake Twitter Egg Followers and Fake Twitter Follower Removal Script. Both need to be run using the Console function in Chrome – you’ll find full instructions on their respective pages. 

You can easily block and report fake accounts by clicking the cog icon in the top-right corner of their profile and choosing the appropriate option.

How To Identify fake customer reviews.

Not all the reviews you read on websites such as Amazon, TripAdvisor and Google Play can be taken at face value. It’s becoming increasingly common for companies and developers to buy fake reviews and ratings on these sites, in the same way, that you can get thousands of Twitter followers overnight by paying for them. The fraudulent reviewers are usually real people (Amazon won’t let you post a review unless you’ve bought at least one item from the store) who have signed up with services such as LaunchZon (launchzon.com) that bulk-sell bogus opinions. Alternatively, they advertise their writing skills through task marketplaces such as Fiverr (www.fiverr.com), which last year was at the center of Amazon’s clampdown on fake reviews that involved the store suing 1,114 alleged perpetrators. Current listings on Fiverr include ‘I will post a positive review anywhere’ and ‘I will write perfect reviews for your Android apps’ – clearly the community hasn’t learned its lesson.

You can identify many of these paid-for reviews by using common sense – click the reviewer’s name to see all the opinions they’ve posted; if the text is very similar, they’re almost definitely a shill. Additionally, fake reviews are often vague, brief or over-enthusiastic, for example: “Best book/tablet/waffle maker I’ve ever bought, worth every penny!”.

For more scientific analysis, paste the URL of a product’s Amazon page into Fakespot (fakespot.com) and click ‘Analyse It!’. Fakespot uses its special algorithms to scan the reviews of the item for signs of fraudulence, looking at the language used, the reviewer’s profile, correlation with other reviewers’ data, the sentiments expressed and “prevailing patterns used by proven fake reviewers”. Once finished, it gives an overall grade and summary to indicate whether reviews of the item are likely to be genuine or false. We were pleased (but not surprised!) that Fakespot gave our 2015 Back Issues Disc an ‘A’ grade and concluded that “you can trust reviews of this product”; whereas a pair of Techrise earphones received an ‘F’ and a warning for suspicious all-five-star reviews. See Fakespot’s Worst Fake Reviews section for other examples.

Fakespot isn’t always right, but the more reviews it analyses, the more accurate it becomes – it’s already checked more than 390,000. There are also Fakespot extensions for Chrome (click here) and Firefox, so you can scan review pages on the fly.

Catch People Trying To Use Your Phone.

Apple and Google both offer free services for locating, locking and wiping a lost or stolen phone, called Find My Phone and Find Your Phone, respectively. 

As the latter has just been added to Google’s My Account hub (myaccount.google.com) to make it easier to track down and sign out of a missing handset. Useful though these are, they don’t tell you who snatched your phone, which is where Lock watch comes in. This free Android app captures a photo when someone tries to unlock your phone using the wrong PIN, password or pattern. It then emails you the picture with a map of your device’s location. 

Lockwatch works silently and invisibly with your phone’s front camera and starts automatically when needed, so you don’t need to keep it running all the time.

Alternatively, Prey Anti Theft for iOS and Android (preyproject.com) lets you remotely control your phone's camera(s) to take photos of the snooper, pinpoint their location and delete all stored passwords from your device.

Find Who’s accessing your Facebook account?

Who’s accessing your Facebook account? 

Most Facebook users never bother to sign out, which means that anyone passing their PC or picking up their phone can access their accounts. 

To make sure no-one invades your Facebook privacy and posts nonsense on your behalf, click the down arrow in the top-right corner of the Facebook website, choose Settings and select Security. 

Click the Where You’re Logged In option to see a list of devices and locations, and the times and dates they were last accessed. Click ‘End activity’ next to an entry to sign out of that session, or choose End All Activity to sign out of all sessions, everywhere. 

Facebook also offers a useful feature called ‘Login notifications’, which notifies you by email, text message or push notification if your account is accessed from an unfamiliar device. You can activate this on the Security page and check which devices Facebook regards as familiar by clicking ‘Trusted browsers’.

How To Discover who's been Using Your Windows PC.

Discover who’s been using your PC.

Most of us don’t mind someone using our PC if they ask nicely, but doing so without permission is another matter – what if they download malware, fiddle with your settings, or nose through your private folders? 
If you suspect someone has logged into your PC behind your back, press the Windows key+R, type eventvwr, and press Enter to launch Event Viewer. 

Open the Windows Logs list on the left and click the Security log to see the times and dates of all logins and logoffs on your PC, along with the reboots and shutdowns, so you can spot any unauthorized activity. 

You should also check the Application tab to see when specific programs were run. Don’t be alarmed by any errors or warnings you see in Event Viewer logs – these are common in Windows and don’t mean there’s anything wrong with your PC. Indeed, phone scammers are known to use scary-looking Event Viewer errors to fool their victims. 

To ensure you don’t miss any future intrusions, try the following Registry tweak. Press the Windows key+R, type Regedit to open the Registry Editor and navigate to: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Right-click it, choose New, DWORD Value and name the value DisplayLastLogonInfo. Double-click it and change its value data to ‘1’. 

Now, when you log into Windows, you’ll see details of the last time you signed in to your account and any failed attempts to gain access to your PC.
