Don’t click ‘like’ on Facebook again until you read this
Source: USA Today
Facebook has changed the way people do a lot of things online. For example, you probably notice yourself reflexively clicking ‘like’ on anything your friends post on Facebook, even if it’s just to acknowledge you saw it. Scammers are taking advantage of that reflex for a dangerous scam called “like-farming.”
What is like-farming?

Exclusive: Hampton Creek Makes Big Moves Beyond Mayo in Walmart and Target
Get ready for brownies, muffins, salad dressing, pancake mix, and more.
Hampton Creek, the startup best known for its egg-free Just Mayo, is moving beyond the sandwich spread.
Over the coming months the San Francisco-based food company will roll out 43 new products including pancakes, brownies, dessert mixes, and salad dressings into retailers, beginning with Walmart WMT 0.97% and Target TGT 1.78% , says Hampton Creek CEO Josh Tetrick.
The launch begins March 14 at Walmart when the retail juggernaut starts carrying Hampton Creek’s Just Ranch and Just Italian dressings. Target’s superstore format Super Target will begin carrying the company’s peanut butter cookie dough the same day, joining the chocolate chip cookie dough that hit Super Target shelves in February. Regular Target stores will start getting the products by this summer.
