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:

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.
