WARNING: Don't Click 'Revenge Over Facebook Status'

Posts that say "Shocking Revenge Over Facebook Status" lead to spamware without delivering the promised content.

Don’t click on Facebook posts containing any variation on a “Shocking Revenge Over Facebook Status.”

We applaud David Foster at Hubze for pointing out this scamware first. The application promises to show you the status update that supposedly upset a jealous boyfriend, but only leads to yet another scheme that earns a commission for a spammer if you click all the way through. Don’t give that person the satisfaction.

Clicking on this particular post opens a browser tab leading to a Blogspot page that asks you to “like” the posting and share it with your friends in order to see the status update.
