    Beware - Latest Facebook scam!!

    Facebook's popularity has grown to Global proportions, so it is not too surprising the scammers and spammers are hitting the social site hard.

    The latest scam involves a fake video clip with various versions of the same title, which claims to be video of a girl being caught by her Dad while stripping in front of her webcam.

    In reality, there is no such video and if/when one clicks on a link to "download" said video, all one will get is a nasty virus...DO NOT attempt to download the video file!!

    When you click the link provided in the scam message, it will hijack your Facebook account. If you do come across this scam message, delete it from your Facebook news feed immediately.

    Some of the offending video titles:

    Dad Caught Her In Front Of Web Cam MUST-SEE
    Father caught his daughter stripping LOL
    Busted!! Dad Catches Daughter on Webcam!
    Father catching his daughter stripped on webcam [Video]

    It is often better to keep one's mouth shut and appear to be a fool than to open it and remove all doubt!

    Thank you for the news Jim, it's not one that would be of interest but it could have easily been a football video in which i could be prone too although i stick to the official site... all warnings are welcome

    I haven't come across any of these latest scams on FB, but get lots of warnings about them from my friends, all of which are members of this forum. Thanks guys for keeping this old coot out of trouble!

    I don't use facebook myself i do have a blag account used for software offers, but the outcome of this will be funny not many teenage lads will be able to resist this.
    Once you've got past my charm, good looks, intelligence and my sense of humour,
    I think it's my modesty that stands out.

    Hey Ted, I shudder to think what would have happened to me, if my dad had caught me looking at a naked girl on a webcam.
