You’ve probably all seen such catchy title<\/strong>, with often the same patterns “Wow! You won’t believe what this XXXX guy\/woman does”<\/em>, and a catchy video thumbnail as well. We all want to click on them, even if we know there’s probably nothing good inside. For you, we clicked on it!<\/strong> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… And indeed, there’s nothing good inside<\/strong>, and more, there’s nothing to see. Let’s have a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


First layer: The Facebook scam<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It all starts with a catchy title, and a thumbnail.<\/strong> Here we started with the infamous “You won’t believe what […] this pregnant girls does”.  Once arrived on the page, we are wanted to share the page and comment it<\/strong> directly via the Facebook API. What we’ve done (with a test account). And indeed, this appears on our Facebook account<\/strong>.
 
\"2014-02-17-13_28_14-ShockingVideo\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"2014-02-17-13_46_59-6-Facebook\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All right, we are now redirected to another page<\/strong>. The video link? Of course not… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Second layer: The survey<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We land on youtube-like page<\/strong>, but blackened with a little survey form in the foreground<\/strong>.
Trying to click on one of them leads to a third party page, that needs our cell phone number to subscribe to a shitty 4\u20ac-a-week subscription<\/strong>. No thanks.
 
Under the hood, it’s quite easy to bypass with the source code of the page.
 
\"2014-02-17-13_29_41-Video\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"2014-02-17-13_30_10-Video\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"2014-02-17-13_43_03-Video\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the source code, we’ve found the Youtube link<\/strong>, and surprise! The blogger account of the scammer<\/strong> \ud83d\ude42
The scammer owns lot of domains of the same type, as seen in the capture below. Let’s have a look at the video on Youtube, at last!<\/strong>
 
\"2014-02-17-13_44_34-Source\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"2014-02-17-13_43_27-Video\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"2014-02-17-13_45_47-Video\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"2014-02-17-13_39_59-Blogger\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


Third layer: The Youtube video<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

So finally, we got the video link, and we can watch it on Youtube<\/strong>. First surprise, it’s not about a ‘Pregnant woman that makes something insane’.
It’s about the Nicki Minaj se[x]-t[a]pe<\/strong>. Well, let’s watch it. It’s on Youtube, not Youpr0n so looks a bit odd, but let’s register and hit the play button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… And indeed, that’s just here a song with some random pictures on it<\/strong>, classic video clip. Everything for this! We could have known it.
 
\"2014-02-17-13_39_17-YouTube\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Another example: LIKE Hijacker<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I’ve taken another example found on the scammer blog list, this is a video template of Facebook like hijacker<\/strong>.
Nothing complicated here, it’s only a hidden iframe put on the top of the PLAY button of the video<\/strong>. That way, one that wants to watch the video will like the page, without even knowing it<\/strong>.
 
\"2014-02-17-13_47_42-ShockVid\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Conclusion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Well, you really need a conclusion? \ud83d\ude42
OK, pretty easy to understand. Never CLICK on such videos on Facebook<\/strong> or any other social website. They are 99,9% scam. You’ll look like a fool regarding to your friends, you’ll get either spammed on your cell phone<\/strong> and\/or lose money if you subscribe to the surveys<\/strong>, and obviously you’ll never get what you expected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
