'Veriffy My Account' scam on facebook

.
Scammers and spammers are on the prawl again.  Beware if a friend sends a post on your wall telling you to help prevent spam by verifying your account.  Don't click to verify because you will not help prevent spam but actually help spam and scam your friends unintentionally.  And that sucks big time.

Study the screen capture below.  Click on the picture to zoom in and see where your click will actually bring you. Look at the bottom of the screenshot and you'll notice creepsweepers somewhere in the javascript code.

Don't worry about clicking the picture, it's not spam or scam, just trying to spread the awareness. Do share this to stop the spam instead. God knows how much other information it is able to 'extract' from your poor computer.
