Another Facebook Video Scam - Miley Cyrus

So, I heard rumor this one was out but I hadnt seen it yet until tonight so I figured now is a good time to go over this one.

You're scrolling through your friends news feeds and you see this..

..so you decide to get curious and want to see what Miley did that was so SICK! You find yourself just moments away from being able to see the video as long as you give them permission to access your account info. Why not? You give farmville, cityville, and all those other apps permission to access your info right? What harm could it do? Well they will post a link on your page just like the one above so that your friends click on it, and round and round the cycle goes...

So how do they benefit from posting this on everyone's page? Well in order to see the risky things Miley is doing these days you just have to fill out one quick survey, or so they say. This survey you fill out, THEY get paid for you to take it, THEY are making money off of you.

So what if they make a little money, you get to see what you came to see right?? WRONG! After that survey is.. TADA! Another survey!... and another, and another and another and in the end.. no video.


Always, ALWAYS remember the rules. If it seems to be too good to be true, it usually is. If you stop and stare at the "car accidents" you're bound to cause another one. If you notice a friend of yours has this on their page, comment (if there is a place to) that it may be a scam. If you arent sure, google it!! youtube it!! If its real, you know its on youtube and thats a site you can trust. If you noticed, the link above did not have a "comment" section on it. Very smart of them to find a way to leave that out so we cant warn each other. So take a minute and instead of using Status Shuffle to find something witty to say, post a message about the dangers of this link and ask your friends to pass it on. If you have 200 friends on your list thats 200 people you can potentially educate on this. If your 200 friends tell their 200 friends..  well you see where this is going..

As always, thanks for reading! Spot something online you want me to look into? Take a screen shot, forward me the mail, send me the link and i'll dig into it!
