The social network "VKontakte" has penetrated into the daily life of a modern person. She opened up many interesting opportunities. However, a person is always missing something, and he begins to look for some new services ...
Social network or something more?
The VKontakte site has long ceased to be an ordinary social network. This is a place where people find their old friends or relatives, make new acquaintances, which grow into something more. Thanks to the VKontakte service, many people have found their destiny, started new families and are raising children now. And how many emotions this social network accumulates in itself ... The joy of receiving a gift or a congratulatory message ... Jealousy of the fact that some important person like someone else ... It's a shame that the person does not respond to the urgent the message or simply does not write first ... The feeling of tenderness at the sight of a beautiful photograph ... And many, many others.
Does VKontakte have flaws?
How many informative and interesting VKontakte contains! The science and entertainment communities are updated every hour with new and new facts,
funny videos, etc. How many gaming applications are there that not only help pass the time, but also learn something unexpected for themselves, for example, in an application such as VKontakte Guests.
Among Russians and residents of neighboring countries, the social network Odnoklassniki is also popular . She, of course, has a number of its features and differences. However, the audience of Odnoklassniki for the most part is somewhat of the older age category. But, probably, the main distinguishing feature is the ability to view guests. “Vkontakte” has no such function. And, perhaps, users consider this one of its biggest disadvantages.
Tempting offers "from Pavel Durov"
To see who came to visit "VKontakte", proceeding even from ordinary curiosity, at least once every registered user would like to. Some begin to closely study the expanses of the Internet network, look for some applications, download special programs, perform manipulations with links, etc. After all, everyone cares about the question: "How to view guests in VKontakte?" We will try to understand this problem and give a comprehensive answer.
Now various sites are full of tempting slogans that they offer the most unique program created by Pavel Durov himself . That supposedly only thanks to this miracle program, you can instantly find out a list of all those who visited your page. But is it really so?
If users ever read the rules, they would know that similar programs and applications are prohibited by the VKontakte administration, and their founders are punished with a life ban. But you always want to believe that there are some Internet geniuses who managed to deceive Durov, or even Pavel himself decided to make a bonus gift and provided such a program.
What really awaits users
Let's figure out what similar programs offer us. Usually they collect logins and passwords of naive users who are ready to provide everything themselves. This is done in order to subsequently schedule automatic distribution of advertising news, make reposts, subscribe to dubious communities and like these users. Then these gullible users will expect anger of friends for the numerous spam.
Some were even trickier. After you download the program "Guests" in VKontakte, you will be kindly offered to send a small amount of money (by transfer to an electronic wallet or by sending an SMS message), for which they will promise to show guests, special statistics, and many, many other privileges Of course, this is all a waste of money and time, they will not provide you anything.
The answer to the provided "guests"
Perhaps someone will want to object, because some programs and applications still give some kind of picture, where even the list of "Guests" in Contact is presented. And then immediately an analysis: who came in more often, who less often and so on etc. And even all this seems to be real: there are really friends with whom you spoke not so long ago, but all this is a lie. Such lists are compiled on the basis of data that you yourself provided to scammers by entering your username and password You will definitely see the “guests” of people who are in first place in your list friends, as well as those who were in the last correspondence and who left messages on the wall, but you will not find real visitors.
You need to remember one simple truth that applications of the type: "Vote", "Free Gifts", "Upgrade", "Unique Page Design" - this is all a hoax! All services that provide specific functions have long been known and are available free of charge (except for buying votes and depositing funds to advertise their communities) to each user in VKontakte. The guests of the page are not known to anyone until the programmers of this social network decide to make the corresponding function.
Fraudsters: where they live
Most often, a person who wants to find out who visited his profile writes a corresponding request in a search engine. He is immediately given a lot of sites, namely forums. There, "experts" colorfully describe all the advantages of programs that can provide a list of guests, and sometimes even boast that they have tried everything on their own experience. In fact, if you decide to trust these people, you will receive in return a lot of annoying and malicious viruses on your computer, as well as a constant expenditure of money (this depends on what personal information you provide to scammers).
When browsing through various sites, sometimes you may find pop-ups below. They contain a colorful description of the fact that someone is visiting your page, and in order to find out, you just need to go to their site. Similar pop-ups are decorated in the same color scheme as Vkontakte to confuse the naive user more. To avoid this, it is worth installing a special program that blocks the appearance of advertising pop-ups.
Sometimes you can even get a letter from a close friend in which he will offer to install the program “Guests“ In Contact. ”“ The application works! ”- he will argue, or maybe assure that he even tried it himself. It only means one thing : He was “hacked.” In this case, you should contact this friend in person and advise you to immediately change the password.
How to protect yourself from scammers
In order not to fall into the hands of attackers, this should be taken care of in advance. First of all, it should be remembered that the official service "Guests" in VKontakte does not exist. Therefore, all such applications or programs, respectively, are false. You should not check this again and go to the corresponding sites too.
It is also worth remembering that you should be careful about the statements of strangers from the forums (and even your friends!) That they have found a wonderful opportunity to select guests.
And in order to avoid the temptation and protect yourself from colorful advertising, you can install special blocking programs.
Draw conclusions
In conclusion, we can say that viewing guests in the "Contact" is impossible. You can only fall into the intricate tricks of fraudsters and harm yourself. You can correct the situation if you change your username and password or by contacting the technical support of the social network.
