Avoid the Facebook scam 'Your friend likes "This guy went too far with revenge on his ex"'!

Keywords: , , .

Just wanted to share this real quick:

There is a really annoying Facebook scam making the rounds - be careful to avoid it!:

You will see that a friend likes a site titled "WOW, This GUY Went A Little Too Far WITH His REVENGE On His EX GIRLFRIEND!" or something along those lines. This is likely to make you curious because it can appear posted by friends who are not typically interested in scandals, quasi-porn and other things like that.

If you click on the link it will take you to the site "shockingxrevenge dot com". Of course, there is no promised video or any kind of other useful or curious information. Instead, if you make the mistake to click the Verify-button on that page, a "Like" note/link will appear on your Facebook profile referencing the scam site. Your friends will see it and the scam will continue spreading.

The wankers who set up the scam obviously do not offer an "Unlike" option. However, you can trick them by clicking the Verify-button again; it will remove the scam link from your profile. (See the Facebook help link: http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=17219&tq.)

Help spreading this warning, hopefully it will reduce the spread of the scam!
