Zynga really needs to take drastic steps to stop this poopoo. if you look where the post comes from you can’t tell it’s not from Zynga. my question is…..could Zynga teks be the ones behind this copy cat Farmville posts.

I can’t find how to report the “White Kitty scam” to Facebook. Can you tell me how to do that?
Posted on March 9th, 2011 at 9:00 pm
Yeah. I saw your post earlier then got one from a friend. Is it possible that my friend’s account could be compromised? I didn’t click on it, hopefully mine is OK.

By mistake clicked on this. Quickly changed my password, what else can I do to keep myself safe? How do you report the post if you see one on your wall?

Another one has just started appearing for the Irish Cob Foal. Watch out… It’s exactly the same format as the Kitten, and the Clover Pony Foal.

I got one about an Irish cob foal….anything else we can do other than changing our password to protect our accounts?

There is another one for an Irish cob foal

It’s a scam because it offers to let you ADOPT the kitten. Which you can’t — the kitten is only available from the Mystery Game. Duh.

So basically anything that is in the mystery game that someone tries to pawn off as free is fake.

I clicked this but got suspicious when the next page was one of those where I had to click “yes” or “no” and also showed an instant pop up. Nasty scam! It wouldn’t let me deny to accept it, that pop up just came back!
Only way to deny it was to close the browser.
