It is a misconception and a popular lure at the same time: the alleged Facebook profile viewer. It simply didn't exist and doesn't exist!
And yet fraudsters still use the Facebook profile viewer as a decoy - because it apparently works. Users are repeatedly invited to public groups that promise that they can spy on their “stalkers” here.
Sites or groups that promise something like this are simply lying. At best, users who interacted with your profile the most will be shown, but in most cases not even that.
Detailed analysis:
We take a closer look at this alleged profile viewer and click on the link offered. It is claimed that 13 people visited our profile within two days. If we want to see a more detailed list, we have to click on a link again.
Kaspersky immediately warns us of potential data loss. Anyone who does not have online protection will be taken to a fake login page in Facebook's corporate design.
So we enter fantasy data and, interestingly enough, we get to a competition. We already know these very well from data collectors! If you want to take part, you can hardly hope to win, but you can look forward to a lot of spam by email, post and telephone.
However, if you enter your data from Austria, we arrive at a seemingly “empty” page. We click on the profile link on the left and see that the creator has created a lot of links to false login pages!
Since this person has this profile on a Google-managed site, we were able to easily report him for a phishing scam .
Stay away from these alleged profile viewers!
There was and is no way to see the profile visitors! Facebook never intended this, and there were and are no “tricks” to get around this.
In the best case scenario, a selection from your friends list is displayed, but most of the time you get fake competitions pushed on you by data collectors, slip into expensive subscriptions, pass on your login details to fraudsters or get malware and viruses on your computer through fake sites!
