The victims of this scam will end up spamming their friends with links called: “WOW, This GUY Went A Little To Far WITH His REVENGE On His EX GIRLFRIEND! (shocking)”
The associated messages read: “Ohhh my God! That’s Harsh Revenge right there ! :O” or “Do you think this guy went a little to far with his revenge? This guy didn’t like what his girlfriend did, so he took revenge in his own hands!”
Clicking on the spammed link takes users to a rogue Facebook application page designed to trick them.
There are different types of survey scams on Facebook and this appears to be one of those multi-step ones, where users have to complete different tasks in order to access the alleged content.
Of course, very few of them actually deliver on their promises and when they do are mostly disappointing.
In this case, users are encouraged to Like and Share a rogue page called “g1rlfriendsh0ck,” which falsely claims that the intriguing video has been seen by 441,843 users.
Indeed, spammers earn hefty commissions through affiliate marketing schemes for driving traffic to these surveys, that usually try to sign up users to premium rate services.
