This scam popped up on Facebook this week. I saw it on my profile this morning. The scam looks harmless enough. A friend of yours has posted what appears to be a video of a laughing baby on your Facebook Wall. Clicking the link will trigger most modern browsers to throw up a phishing site warning.

Do not click on this link! Simply delete the post. Your friend is not a spammer. Their account was likely highjacked. Be a good friend. Tell them their account has been highjacked and encourage them to change their password, log out and back in under the new password.

TIP: Many of these scams originate in Eastern Europe and English is not their first language, hence the poor grammar and occasional misspellings.
