Be aware, don't be next.
.A hoax Facebook post is spreading misinformation about the website's Block function by suggesting users can discover if they are being stalked by strangers.
The posts then direct you to search "Following Me" in your Facebook account and there will be a list of names you won't recognize, The Times Union reported.
Those followers would be secretly stalking you, your statuses and updates.
"Learned something that was rather disturbing tonight".
The rumour says that Facebook would give you the list if you go to your settings, go to blocking and privacy, and type in "following me". In reality, users are getting is a list of people with the words "following" and "me" somewhere on their profiles, not a pack of clandestine agents.
Currently, Facebook doesn't allow users to see who is viewing their profile and has made no plans to introduce this feature.
For people who do want to limit who really can see their postings, the Facebook Help Center provides information on how to change settings.
