Was the recent Facebook Fad a Scam?

In the recent fad started by Facebook called Cartoon Week, everyone replaced thier display photo to a pic of thier favorite childhood cartoon. And rumors were flying that the cartoon fad was a scam started by pediphiles to lure children as thier friends.

Well, rest easy Facebook users of children. Those rumors have been put to rest by the a spokesperson of Facebook team. The spokesperson told the HuffingtonPostTech in an email, "This rumor is false and has been reported by others as such. Of course, people should be careful on Facebook and wherever they go online. As always, we advise people to think twice before accepting friend requests, and not to accept friend requests from people they don't know."

So there we have it. The Facebook Cartoon Fad was not a scam. It was a legitimate cause: Campaign To End Violence Against Children - Childhood Cartoon Faces.
