A new facebook scam has started on facebook. It’s a video spam named Candid Camera prank! [HQ] has been circulating. Actually this is not a video and it links to an application which will take you to download a file named vlcplayer.exe (a software to play VIDEO & MP3 files) and running this will post this message on your friends’ wall. So it will keep spreading as the users keep on clicking on the scam link.
Here’s the message it displays on Facebook wall: Name, This is without doubt the sexiest video ever!. The length is shown to be 3:17.
When you click on the link, you will be taken to http://apps.facebook.com/nadq_sdas/, then it will ask to continue and says that your video player is out of date. It then brings to another page to download a file. Don’t click these links when you see these types on posts on your wall on your Friends’ wall. Simply remove these posts from your walls.
I personally tried this so that I can know how it worked, thankfully while downloading the file my anti virus deleted that file because it contained a virus. So now I know it contains virus…So guys stop clicking on such scam links and don’t download such files though precaution is the best policy.
If you have already clicked on the application and allowed access to that application you can go to application settings under your facebook settings and can remove access of that application.
Do share your comments about this dangerous scam….
