Hoax atau Fakta :
HOAX.
Analisis :
Trik konfidensi adalah berita elektronik dalam Internet yang membohongi dan bersifat menipu, sehingga pengirimnya akan mendapat manfaat dan keuntungan tertentu. Contoh scam yang sering kita jumpai adalah surat berantai dan pengumuman lotre. Dalam hal ini akibat dari berita scam ini bagi penerimanya akan lebih serius, jika dibandingkan dengan spam.
Scam yang sudah usang di Facebook yang terus beredar adalah mengenai 'Bill Gates $5,000 giveaway', penipuan melalui cara 'pesan spam' yang menyebar di sekitar 'Facebook Feed'. Umumnya berita hanya sebagai lelucon (humor hoax) tetapi sangat berbahaya (virus) atau menghasut pengguna untuk mengklik link (tautan) berbahaya.
Trik dari penipuan ini menjanjikan kepada pengguna Facebook dan mengklaim akan memberikan $ 5.000 kepada pengguna yang berbagi gambar tersebut (Bill Gates memegang tanda atau mengunjungi link yang disediakan). Jika pengguna mengklik link berbahaya yang disediakan, ada kemungkinan bahwa akun Facebook mereka akan dibajak oleh orang tidak bertanggungjawab. Pesan Bill Gates dan gambar selanjutnya akan diposting pada ke beranda pengguna. Bahayanya lagi, informasi pribadi tentang pengguna Facebook dan teman-teman mereka juga dapat diakses dan dikumpulkan untuk tujuan tertentu.
Untuk sebagian besar scam, berbagi gambar Bill Gates sepenuhnya berbahaya jika ada link yang disediakan. Namun, perlu dicatat bahwa Bill Gates tidak pernah menjanjikan akan mengeluarkan kocek sebesar $ 5.000 untuk tiap orang-orang yang berbagi gambar-Nya di Facebook, kisah ini fiktif belaka.
Foto dari Bill Gates adalah hasil olah digital (rekayasa) dan mengandung kalimat menyesatkan :
"Hey Facebook, As some of you may know, I'm Bill Gates. If you click that share link, I will give you $5,000. I always deliver, I mean, I brought your Windows XP, right?"
Selain gambar manipulasi di atas, ada juga yang menyertai gambar tersebut dengan pesan yang menyesatkan :
"He will actually do it
THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USA TODAY - IT IS FOR REAL
Subject: PLEEEEEEASE READ!!!! it was on the news!
To all of my friends, I do not usually forward messages, But this is from my good friend Pearlas Sandborn and she really is an attorney.
If she says that this will work - It will work. After all, What have you got to lose? SORRY EVERYBODY.. JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!! I'm an attorney, And I know the law. This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL and Intel will follow through with their promises for fear of facing a multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the one filed by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago.
Dear Friends; Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates sharing his fortune. If you ignore this, You will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it ( If you are a Microsoft Windows user) For a two weeks time period.
For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00 For every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, You will be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a check.
I thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on. Microsoft contacted me for my address and withindays, I receive a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can affoard this, Bill gates is the man.
It's all marketing expense to him. Please forward this to as many people as possible. You are bound to get at least $10,000.00. We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta test without getting a little something for our time. My brother's girlfriend got in on this a few months ago. When i went to visit him for the Baylor/UT game. She showed me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and was stamped "Paid in full"
Like i said before, I know the law, and this is for real.
Intel and AOL are now discussing a merger which would make them the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that AOL remains the most widely used program, Intel and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Intel can and will track it (if you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period."
Microsoft sendiri sudah membantah bahwa perusahaan tersebut melakukan 'Email Tracking' Program (program pelacak pada email) :
"Message to Customers on 'Email Tracking Program' Hoax
REDMOND, Wash., May 12, 1999 - Recently an email has been circulating on the Internet about a new 'email tracking system' from Microsoft.
As you may have suspected, this is a hoax and did not originate from Microsoft.
Microsoft does try to investigate the source of these hoaxes and take appropriate action. However, many times the hoaxers take elaborate steps to shield their true identities and we cannot identify them. Privacy and security are very important to us here at Microsoft, and we work every day to build great software for the Internet that keeps information safe, secure and private.
We regret any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Sincerely,
Microsoft Corporation"
