Abstract
Some of the social media disadvantages are the emergence of online fraud perpetrated by some dubious characters. For instance, they “hijack” users’ accounts, identity theft, impersonate Facebook security or administrator among others. These hijacked social media accounts would then be used to send fake messages to other users, warning them that their account was about to be disabled and instructing the users to click on a link to verify their account. This study was undertaken to examine student’s participation in social media fraud. The case study selected for this work is the University of Ibadan. The study adopted the descriptive research design. The data were collected through the use of questionnaire. The study found out that some students actively engage in social media fraud. Also the findings of the studies reveal that students who engage in such have their academics affected negatively.
