New Phishing Scam Making Its Way Around Facebook

Facebook is no stranger to phishing scams and today another one is making its way around Facebook. The scam gets users to fill in their email address and password and then posts 25 wall messages on the walls of the user’s friends. What makes this version of the scam unique is that if the user deletes the wall posts, this system is apparently smart enough to post additional wall posts.
The message being posted on users’ walls is:
Hi hi this you?. http://videos.facebook.shjjiwe.com
Typically Facebook has blocked the link before we post about it however this one still works. Facebook has been aggressively fighting against phishing scams for the past year as the frequency of scams have increased as traffic to the site increases. This is yet another one of the standard phishing scams. As soon as a user clicks the link they are sent to a page which looks like the Facebook login page.
The bottom line is don’t click on the link! If curiosity forces you to click the link, don’t enter your email address and password as your account will immediately be used to spam your friends’ walls.

If you’re one of the few who aren’t entirely convinced that social media is worth pursuing, there is already quite a lot of established evidence that indicates that effective use of social media does, indeed, make a huge difference for companies large or small. For example, www.engagementdb.com recently released their report on social media’s impact on revenue generation.
Here’s a relevant part of Bill McCloskey’s (www.clickz.com) interpretation of the report: “The world’s 100 most valuable brands were evaluated by how well they engage with their consumers using social media and how their engagement correlates with revenue. The report stated that [the eleven] companies with the highest level of social media activity increased revenue by 18 percent in the last 12 months, while companies that were the least active saw a 6 percent drop in sales.”
