Young celebrities Justin Bieber and Selena are among the most popular names in Facebook hoaxes and scams. Because of their popularity and big following among Facebook users, their names are often used to lure people, teenagers usually, into falling to survey scams or unknowingly install malicious softwares or even download viruses.
It is no wonder that new versions of Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber keep showing up in the social network, the latest ones, bearing these messages:

Do not fall to the scam. Always think twice before clicking on and sharing videos and images of popular celebrities in Facebook. This holds especially true when you notice that the image or video spread so fast in your network. Malicious Faceook apps spreading these hoax messages may employ clickjacking so whenever you tried to view the malicious messages, you too start to post the same message in your wall and even into your Facebook friends' walls.
What to Do
This will surely not be the last time that scams taking advantage of celebrities' names spread on Facebook. You can, however, help avert the spread of these Facebook scams.
Make sure to flag the message as scam and tell your friends NOT to click on this link as this may lead to installation of rogue browser plugins.
and do not forget to share this post on Facebook.
