Free tickets on Southwest Airlines? It's the latest Facebook scam

Every time I go on Facebook, it seems as though there is another scam being posted on my friends` walls or as their new status updates. This morning many of my friends made a status in order to "receive 2 free Southwest airline tickets." This article discusses that we are giving access to our profiles when signing up for these scams. Also, it has a YouTube video discussing how to clean up your Facebook after participating in one of these scams. Privacy will definitely be an increasing issue for social media sites.

I know, I'm always frustrated when I cannot tell whether all my friends found some great deal, or they all fell prey to the same scam...
