Now scammers are in to fear mongering! Dont click if you see this in your news feed!!! This is a SCAM. Dont click! The blurb above is an example of a clickjacking scam using bait-and-switch tactics to lure users to deceptive websites where theyre required to complete marketing surveys and/or download potentially dangerous software before viewing a promoted video which, in most cases, doesnt even exist. Users are also required to share the video before they can view it, which is how the blurbs go viral. Its always a bad idea to comply with such a requirement. Not only do you end up spamming your friends and exposing them to a scam, you also, in effect, grant the scammers access to your social media account. Think before you click! The creepy-looking image used in the blurb, supposedly depicting some sort of horrendous skin condition somebody got from using Head & Shoulders shampoo, is a familiar bit of fakery created by combining a photo of human skin with a photo of a lotus seed pod. The skin condition is not real.
