Facebook consumers are hit by yet another fast-spreading rip-off right now,
Tiffany Silver, pretending for being a link to some YouTube video clip that they have been tagged in.
The rip-off messages use likely victims' initial names, declaring that they are tagged while in the "Youtube" video clip.
Phrases utilized in the attack incorporate:
YO [name] why do you think you're tagged within this video
WTF,
Tiffany Engagement!! [name] why are you currently tagged in this particular video
hey [name] i cant believe that youre tagged in this video
hey [name] you look so silly in this video
omg,
Cheap Pandora Style Charms! [name] why have you been tagged in this vid
OMG [name] why have you been in this video
OMG [name] you must untag by yourself in this particular video
Each "video" incorporates a random quantity of views and likes,
Tiffany Engagement Rings, however the length of the film usually appears to be 2:34. Eagle-eyed Facebook consumers might realise one thing is awry when they see the links refer to "Youtube" instead of the fairly much more correct "YouTube".
But if you do make the error of clicking within the video clip thumbnail you can be taken into a webpage which tries to trick you into cutting-and-pasting a malicious JavaScript code into your browser's tackle bar (this seems to become one particular from the scammers' favourite techniques of assault in the second).
You should concede, it's a cunning bit of social engineering from the bad guys. Would not you need to see a video that your Facebook close friends say you've been tagged in?
