Beware enticing Bieber links, free offers on Facebook

by Elinor Mills

Old scams hiding under new headlines were circulating on Facebook this week, including promises of video involving obsessed Justin Bieber fans.

"I can't believe a GIRL did this because of Justin Bieber," says the post that has been appearing on Facebook walls and status updates.

Clicking the link leads to a fake YouTube-looking page that says "Please Watch this video only if you are 16 years or older," according to an M86 blog post. Hidden behind the video window is an iframe linked to Facebook so that clicking anywhere in the window will submit a "like" click to the page and spread the post on the victim's Facebook page.
