New Rihanna video scam makes rounds on Facebook - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News
New Rihanna video scam makes rounds on Facebook - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "A computer security firm warned Facebook users Tuesday against a new scam making the rounds of the social networking site, claiming to be a new scandal video of pop artist Robyn Rihanna Fenty (Rihanna).
Sunbelt/GFI Labs said the supposed scandalous video of the pop artist may lead victims to "share" the page and then take part in yet another "survey."
"Survey scams have been plaguing Facebook users for the longest time, and scammers never fail to get someone to click on their links—and a lot of users are falling for these. It’s not that the scammers’ technique is sophisticated enough. It’s how they socially engineer scams to make them too interesting for anyone to pass up," it said in a blog post.
