Hundreds of Facebook users are sending us queries about “Selena Gomez nude pictures surfaced”. A status message is shared on Facebook in which you can see a naked lady in the thumbnail. The title of the status report then reads: “Selena Gomez nude pictures surfaced” and underneath “Gallery 1 of 12 photos”. Here the “curiosity” of Facebook users is once again being exploited to mislead them. Users are led to believe that they are seeing pictures of Selena Gomez here, but that is not the case. After clicking on the link, an external website opens. You then have to confirm 2 buttons on this. First button: “Are you already 18 years old” and second button: “Start”. But BEWARE! Behind the two buttons there are invisible “Like” buttons from Facebook. Behind the first button (Are you already 18 years old) you click on "Like" for "Lachenmachtgesund.de" and on the second button you leave a "Like" for a YouTube video, although a "games page" opens.
This is what the post looks like on Facebook:
If you click on the link, the following page opens
Here you can see 2 buttons
1.) Are you already 18 years old - YES and
2.) Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Nude PHOTOS
START SLIDESHOW? CLICK START! - begin
Let's take a closer look at the source code for this page!
We have marked both buttons yellow!
You can see that the code for the “Like” buttons is hidden behind it and that these are intended for the pages “Lachenmachtgesund.de” and for a “YouTube video”.
After you click these 2 buttons, the following will be published on your own wall and also on your friends' homepage:
If you also click on the start button, this page opens:
and a YouTube video of a K starts in the background
We cannot say whether the "artist" of the video is involved in this fake - or whether a fan of the artist created this fake.
The fact is that Facebook users were lured into a trap here.
If you have fallen victim to this fake, please simply remove both entries from the wall:
UPDATE October 3, 2012 - 6:45 p.m
