The Best Girl On Cam EVER! - Facebook Scam
Earlier, we have reported such similar scams that were spreading virally on users’ wall. The message, use a variety of different links which all lead to the same page where you are asked to verify your age by clicking Jaa.
The latest scam does not have a Jaabutton, but in order to view the video, the scammer asks you to share the video link manually on your Facebook wall.
After you have shared the video link on your wall, there will be no video shown, instead, you will be redirected to an online sex and swinger personals community website.
I recommend you not to click on the scam or share the video link on your wall. Scammers earn money by getting users to share video links or complete several surveys, and thus trick users by creating such scam messages.
