Internet Business Daily

I have seen 4 separate cases this weekend of my friends on facebook “liking” something that was clearly not intended. The links that are “liked” always have very catchy titles such as the image below. I clicked on the link and it took me to a page which just said “click here to continue.” I was smart enough not to click that link but I’m sure it would have installed malware on my computer. The image below is what the phishing attempt looked like (definition: phishing):

Five minutes later another friend of mine posted something to my wall saying something along the lines of “OH MY GOD I cannot believe how much MONEY I made in just 1 month.” The link sent me to an affiliate marketing play, one that is very obvious to an affiliate marketer. It was a page meant to look like a news website that promoted a “make money” offer.

I told all of my friends to change their passwords and delete the links. If you see any of these shady links on your profile page or see things you “like” that you don’t remember clicking, delete the link and change your password immediately. Be careful online!
