Facebook Spam Post: Group

Scam Likelihood: 100%
Targets: Anyone


The Story:

While browsing through your Facebook news, you come across a posts showing that a number of your friends just had "liked" a particular group (usually something sexual) recently.
Wondering why so many of your friends liked the group, you click on it to check it out. The group wasn't anything great and you just leave, without liking it.


The Catch:

Later in the day, to your surprise, you realised that you had liked the group and posted it on your wall.

Despite the fact that you left the page without liking it, a virus had automatically liked the page for you and posted it on your wall, which will do the same for your friends.


The Shield:

It doesn't really affect you much, but if it the kind of pages you don't want people to see, then you better check your own wall after viewing such pages. Their main focus probably lies in promoting their pages and websites, and getting "likes".

Besides, there is seriously nothing much that can be done.
