And again, internet fraudsters who use fake profiles on Facebook are spreading fake status posts.
The same scam is used as that of Stefan Raab's alleged suicide .
The associated status post looks like this on Facebook and is always shared first in large Facebook groups. From there, these posts then find their way to other users.
Note: Fraudsters often like to use a nasty scam here. For her fakes she often uses topics that have already been in circulation or in the media. In other words, the user has already seen this somewhere and thinks that it is about the same topic as back then. This makes it easier for them to click on the post. As in this case. We even reported on the topic: “ Horse meat at Burger King
Internet fraudsters spread lies using false facts to lure Internet users into a trap.
What happens if you share these, as required in the image? Now there are two variants, with variant 2 “via smartphone” immediately luring you into a subscription trap.
Variant 1: via DESKTOP
The user is redirected to this fake Facebook page (look out for the McDonald's logo on the fake one
). After he had to share the post, he ended up on a dubious site called 1JUX.NET.
The aim of the scammers is to lure users to this site in order to generate visitors!
Variant 2: using SMARTPHONE
If a user taps the status post using the Facebook app on their cell phone, they will experience a blue miracle. He is immediately redirected to a sex site
At the same moment he already falls victim to a subscription trap. At this point we can refer again to our report on “ third-party blocking ”.
There have been a lot of dubious status posts like this lately.
These are always first tested with fake fraudster accounts. Then you start publishing them in various Facebook groups.
Members of these groups, in turn, fall into the trap and spread this nonsense further. The viral avalanche is triggered by:
