Rollercoaster Accident in California

A supposed video of a horrific theme park accident in Universal Studios is going around in Facebook with messages or variations of wall posts that look like the one below:

Rollercoaster Accident in California
This has just been leaked!
jannireomoved.se

The Universal Studios accident news and the supposed video attached in the messages circulating in Facebook, however, is a hoax.

Do not be misled by this scam as cyberbrooks responsible for distributing the story spread the false news in an attempt to make people answer surveys. If you fell to this, you may have noticed you were prompted to do some "verifications" and answer surveys so you can see what actually is a none existent video.

Chances are also high that you are already spamming the same message to your friends' or your own wall. Here's what you should do:

1. In your account settings, go to apps and remove the rogue facebook app you have provided access to your account supposedly so you can view the themepark accident video.

2. Delete and flag all wall posts made by you or by your friends spreading the scam.

3. Share this post and warn your friends to keep safe from facebool fake videos and scams.

Hey, Do You Remember this Photo?

Can you remember this photo? Remember this photo?
Hey, do you remember this photo?
Can you remember this photo?

Have you received messages or variations of the messages above? Scammers are spreading malicious links on Facebook via chat, wall post and messages by using catchy phrases that ask you to view a supposed photo of you. Unfortunately, the link where you are supposed to see your image do not actually lead you to the url of your picture but to a malicious website.

Facebook Phishing Scam

"Hey, Do You Remember this Photo?" links, in particular, are known to direct you to a site that may appear to be the Facebook login page. This is, however, a phishing attempt. Phishing is a way of trying to steal information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by using fake emails and websites that appear to be from or by legitimate and trustworthy entities.

If you do not scrutinize the url in the address bar, the fake facebook login page can easily fool you into believing you are still on Facebook's pages. See how a fake Facebook login page looks like:



Scams like this make it much easier for scammers to phish Facebook users' login credentials.

What to Do if You Fell to this Phishing Scam

1. Change your password immediately. You can do this by going to your account's settings page.



2. If you can no longer access your account or the password has already been changed to something you do not know, try to click on the "forgot your password" link on the login page. You may need to provide some information to verify your account.
3. Scan your computer for any viruses or malwares that you may have gotten from visiting fake Facebook sites.
4. If you are spamming your friends, remove the malicious app that causes your account to send the Hey, Do You Remember this Photo? messages to your friends.



(You may want to check this post for a detailed guide on how to do this.)
5. Warn your friends about this Facebook phishing scam by sharing this post on Facebook.

Dr. Oz Diet Products on Facebook

Have you seen one of your friends posting this message in Facebook?
"FINALLY! A solution that worked. I found this new weight loss product last month watching TV. I have already lost a bunch of weight I cant believe it! This is where I got it from check it out."

Beware of the Acai Berry weight loss, HCG diet and Dr. Oz Diet products being promoted on Facebook particularly if they are posted and shared by a multiple of your friends as these are likely spam or clickjacking scams.

The Dr. Oz diet messages have links leading to what appears as a news site that supports the effectiveness of acai berry miracle diet in weight loss. Do not be easily lured into buying the promoted weight loss product and handing out your credit card information to such sites especially if you arrived in those sites via spammy messages that you have read in the social network.

There are already existing claims on the effectiveness of Acai berry diet in weight loss and some of these claims may be true. Consumers, however, should stay clear of patronizing any diet product, whether effective or not, if the product employs spammy and clickjacking methods in social networks for marketing.

Here are variants of the Acai berry and Dr. Oz diet products spam:

Hey friends, finally a product that works! Lately I have been taking this new weight-loss product I saw on TV. I am already 25 pounds lighter! I got them here

Finally something that works! Lately I have been taking this new weight-loss product I saw on Dr Oz. I am already 24 pounds lighter! I got them from here

Finally a product that works! Lately I have been using this new weight-loss product I saw on Dr-Oz. I am already 25 pounds lighter! I got them from here

If your Facebook account is sending this weight loss product spam messages, a rogue facebook application may be responsible for this. Here's what you should do:

1. Mark the message as spam.

2. Go to Home >> Account Settings and the Apps

3. Find any suspicious application that you may have used and click the x mark beside this malicious Facebook app.

4. Your account should stop sending out those spam messages once you have removed the rogue Facebook app.
5. Warn your friends about the Dr. Oz Diet and any weight loss product spam they see shared in Facebook. Share this article on Facebook.
