FaceBook Scam is Coming Back } CHECK WHO VISITED UR PROFILE

   A new Facebook scam is claiming the social network now lets you see who has visited your profile. This is false. Facebook will never let you do this, and you should not install apps claiming to do so.

 Facebook scammers are once again trying to take advantage of curious users who want to know which of their friends are visiting their profiles. This is a scam. The “Facebook Profile Viewer” and “Profile Visitor” apps are not something you want to install. Remember: Facebook does not give you any way to find out who has been viewing your profile, will never do so, and neither does any app or service.
