Beware of scams

So, I was just on Facebook and someone messaged me and he told me that he was so excited because he got his Facebook promotion that Mark Zuckerburg is going to pay $150,000 to a select few members of Facebook. All you have to do is pay $1,500 for processing.

Now if I was getting $150,000 from the owner of Facebook I don't understand why I need to pay the $1,500. This spells SCAM, SCAM, SCAM.

Scammers are getting craftier, so we need to keep our eyes peeled.
