Have you ever done the "Find out who viewed your profile" thing on Facebook, and if so, does it really work?

Asked by jca (36062points) November 10th, 2010

Sometimes I see my friends have done “Find out who viewed your profile” on Facebook and I wonder if it really works. I don’t want to do it if it does not work, because often you have to allow other people to view your information in order to do these apps, and I don’t want to open myself up for something if it does not work.

Have you done it and if so, does it really work?

My understanding is that none of those apps work. Because of that, I’ve never used one. Besides which, since my privacy settings are set so that only my friends can view my profile, it seems pointless to want to know which of them did, since I’ve given permission to do so to all of them.

As I understand it, Facebook bans those applications within a few days of them being released because they don’t work.

It is a scam. Don’t do it. You will end up giving the scammer access to your account.
