A couple of days earlier, Facebook was hit with a massive Miley Cyrus Sick video Scam. Today I am seeing a new scam going viral where users are clicking on links and posting updates saying “Look what happens when Father catches Daughter on Webcam!”. This Facebook scam is similar to a previous one where an update was posted saying that a Girl Killed Herself After Dad Posted on Wall.

Most of these scams play on the gullibility of users to click on links with cleverly framed text which entice. As always, my advice is to never click on such links at all, even if they are coming from your closest friend.

As for this scam, clicking on the link takes you to a website where you a video is displayed with the message, “Please watch this video only if you are 16 years or older”. As a strong warning, I would ask you to not click on the play button as it will then automatically post a message on your wall and then ask you to fill out a survey through which they will make money.
Please feel free to share this message with your friends and family so that they don’t fall into clicking on the enticing messages.
