It happens that some of my friends is online and sending new messages to me telling me to open it up suggesting for the site. And when i do that, i do not understand where im heading to. And so i chat my friend if she send me that kind of messages and then she replied to me not to click it because she too was once convince and happen to click and the result is just what happened to me. She said it's a somewhat kind a virus thing. But i did click it first before confronting her. From that experienced i also warned some of my online friends that if it appears to their box, be aware of it too.

It is important to learn about alot of scams, hoax, and spam on facebook. I did get caught with a a spamming application. I eventually found a way to stop the application from spamming my wall with messages. I can also add another to the list of experts at owlwings mentioned of these horrible things. Hoax-Slayer is another good one and does it for the world. He even has his own website.

yes, i received that viral messages before. There are so many of them. But, my friends has told me before to do not open that kind of messages. In my oppinion that's a kind of virus. When you open it, your account data will come to attacker.
