Well, this piece of interesting news has been spreading widely across Facebook. You can see some similarity in this piece of Facebook Post with the previous news like Photographer committed himself 3 days after taking this video and a girl killed herself after her father posted the video on her Facebook Wall, that it is designed in a way to make you think it is a video post.
As you can see from the picture, it shows something within the skin which fits the description given by its title. There also a small clause below that states = "Caution - Mature Content". People who are busy and did not take sometime to think would probably just click on this post and ended up helping the creator to share this scam post.
There are actually from the same creator. This is a very shrewd advertising trick exploiting the curiosity of Facebook users. It is interesting to note that after just one click of the link, you will be directed straight to the Advertisement telling you to fill in a survey which is the same as the previous two Facebook Scams which is mentioned above. Essentially, after you filled in the survey, you will be asked to provide your mobile number and the survey will ensued. This survey will entice you to continue your participation by answering the question through your mobile phone via SMS. However, each of this survey question is chargeable to your mobile subscription account.
The only difference about this scam is that it will not bring you to a page for you to click a button which was placed right in the center of a fake video streaming panel that says "Jaa" which means "share" in Finnish language. For this post, all you need to do is just click on this link, and it will automatically be shared on your Facebook Wall with random messages purported to be entered by you like "Omg", "This is really Gross" and so on.
Looking at the title of this post which says - GlRL HAS A SPlDER LlVlNG lNSlDE OF HER SKlN. If you are observant enough, you will probably realized that the "i" is being replaced by "l". Like the previous news on Photographer "commited" suicide 3 Days after shooting THIS video, spelling mistakes were intentionally made. The only reason for this could be for the purpose of avoiding law suits. However, I am unable to confirm this.
But it seems that despite many articles written to alert about such scams, many are still falling prey to this advertising trick. As I see this piece of seemingly realistic video sharing post flooding my Facebook Newsfeed page.
