A new survey scam spreads viral across Facebook saying a leaked video of NASA confirms the 2012 DOOMSDAY so be prepared. Below seen is the sample post of the survey scam.
Clicking on the link in the wall post will take you to the blogspot page like seen below. This page has been designed to trick users and spread the scam. Everything you see here are fake it doesn't contain any video like expected. How do I say this? Scroll down to know what it contains actually.
When you click on the play icon you will be asked to share the video to play. How can it ask someone to share before knowing what it contains. It does because every time someone clicks on the share button the scam gets posted on their wall and their friends will view it in the news feed. Until you click on share it won't show anything.
You may ask how does it know whether you have clicked the share button? The answer is simple it uses a Java script function to identify whether the user has clicked it or not. Below seen are some of the JS function used in this malicious page.
Once you have shared the page the share button will be changed to play. When you click on play it will popup a webpage "http://watchmere.blogspot.com/" containing the survey to be filled. These surveys will change depending upon your location.
Like I said earlier nothing here like nasa video or any kind of video only it leads to survey to fill. We know already these surveys will benefit the scamster for every survey completed. Beware of these survey scams and stay away from clicking on fraudulent links. If you find something suspicious just Google them before clicking on them. Last but not least please report to Facebook when you come across such links.
