Beware "Tagged you in a post" Facebook Clickjacking Scam

.
There's a new clickjacking scam going on in facebook.  It's got most of my friends.

Click-jacking is done with a seductive link posted with statements like "Justin Bieber Caught Naked on the Beach" or "Japanese Tsunami brought whale crashing into a building" or "Lady Gaga fall off a piano while performing on stage".

Most of them are attached with curious pictures. Once you click on the picture or link, it will update your status saying you 'like'd a link. When your friends see your status, they would be curious and do the same.  It's like wildfire. It's like nuclear reaction! It's viral!

The latest clickjacking is done with notifications telling you "Your friend tagged you in a post" and "see who viewed you profile" written on the post.


When you click on the notification marked "Scam" as in the picture above, you's be taken to the post. Most of the times, "your friend would have removed the post and you'd get an error.  However, as you are tagged by a few friends, those notifications get shown on your profile page.


The post tells you how many times you friends viewed your profile.  Notice the numbers are the same. 1764, 1492, 1206, 1088 and 991.  Only the names change.

This means they got hold of your personal information as soon as you click on the link provided after the words, "see who viewed your facebook profile". After that, the virus takes over and tags most, if not all you friends, four at a time.

Whatever you do, DON'T CLICK! Remove the post as soon as you see it.  Because even if you did not click on the link, friends who view your profile would get curious and click the trap.

Please share this to you friends and stop this deceiving 'virus'.
