Official Farmville $100 FV Cash Survey Scam

This is a new one going around claiming to be an Official Farmville Cash Giveaway.

When in fact it's just another Blogspot Survey Scam.

Do not fall for this you will end up in and endless cycle of survey scams and in the end receive nothing.

First it asks you to like 2 pages you don't even see.

Then it asks you to spam it all over 10 different Facebook pages to further fool others.

Complete 8 offers and provide your email and other personal information.

When you try to leave it even tries to stop you.

Stay away from these things some even go as far as having hidden cell phone charges that in the end you don't even realize you've given permission to until it's to late.

New BBC Video Scam 5-1-11

There is a new scam going around that copies the Justin Bieber scam thats been hitting Facebook the past few days.  

Do not do this it is a scam.

Their even using the same BBC and Picture they were using before with the profile tagging scams.

BBC News - Everyone do check what this Girl did on CAM! 

It leads 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 tooltip 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".
