With the death of Bin Liden every one needs to have an increased awareness of new video scams hitting Facebook.
Please if something looks not right, sounds not right do not click on it.
These are 2 new ones we've seen this morning
These lead you to a page asking you to verify a simple math problem to "prevent bots from slowing down the site".
In actuality, it is another clickjack-type scheme in which you are asked to type the answer into a box
It doesn't matter what you type, because it's a social engineering trick.
What you are actually typing is a comment that is used to share the link with your friends on Facebook.
You can see the tool tip that says "Add a Comment" in the screenshot.
This bypasses Facebook's recent attempt at detecting likejacking fraud.
Links you comment on are not using the same mechanisms that Facebook is monitoring when you click "Like".
If you did make the mistake of sharing one of these, you are now spamming your friends with the scammer's message. You should clean-up your newsfeed and profile to remove references to the scam. (click the "x" in the top right hand corner of the post).
Most of these turn into survey scams if you went further through this read here.
If you made the mistake of submitting your cell phone number for any of the surveys, then you should contact your carrier immediately to keep any bogus charges from appearing.
If you downloaded files or games while completing the survey scam, then your computer could very well be infected with a virus. Install and or update your anti-virus software and run a complete system scan.
