[SCAM ALLERT!!] Facebook scammers offering fake video call option trough Apps

As Paul Ducklin predicted only a few days ago, scams related to Facebook‘s launch of a video chat service powered by Skype are surfacing.

This particular scam did not use the original Facebook Video Calling service. the fake video calling app This version asks you to access personal information, the ability to post messages to your wall, read your posts and to do all of this any time it likes…




Since Facebook introduced its video call feature, it didn't take long for scammers to take advantage, the good people at Naked Security found out.
The way it works isn't that it actually uses the video call feature, but pretends to be an app that will let you access it. It says something like "click me to start video calling" and once you connect to it with your Facebook credentials it starts spamming you and your friends with links to affiliate scam sites.
There are worse things that could happen, but watch out for this one. The Facebook video calling feature is new, so a few people are bound to fall for it.
