It definitly has the odor of a hoax. If facebook had that capability why would they want you to forward a message to use it. Wouldn't it be a heck of a lot easier to give you a nice little icon?

It says: "OMG this is amazing... ever wanted to know who looks at your profile the most?..." Then it goes on to instruct you to forward it to all your friends, press F4 and you'll see who's been looking at your profile. Just curious about an email I’ve been getting a lot on my Funwall.

My second indication is that I am receiving the (mis)information via a friend or acquaintance rather than from the source itself (Facebook, in this case). And it's always better to pose a question on a blog than to forward the possible hoax onto one's closest 1000 friends. Have a great holiday!

Perhaps it is new? Just passing along. Here is the letter: "This is a message I received this morning. Someone is cloning our profiles. This person copies our pictures & creates a profile similar to ours. Then sends scrap, spam or garbage to our contacts or friends in Hi5 and other profile sites. Insulting them…or asking them personal information…Beware!!! Send this message to your friends, to prevent them from being offended in your name by other people. If you receive some junk mail from me, please inform me first, Ok? Send this to all your friends!

Unfortunately, there are many gullible peeps who can't spot a hoax. I wonder if FB will have their version of Snopes.com one day?! :) I got this the other day from a FB friend and immediately knew it was a hoax and told him so - he stopped forwarding it on.

Hopefully Facebook can learn from other social networking sites' experiences. Didn’t this happen on MySpace too, during the early days?
