Be aware of a new type of facebook spam from lopsidedidea52.sam76.com

This website , whose index page is currently closed temporarily though, exploits a new strategy to spam your facebook.

Whenever your friend shares a video post, commenting "Fantstic""GOld arm" or whatever naive single words, don't be too curious about that.

Once you click into the video that looks like a youtube production, you will enter the website, asking you to type a captcha to unlock the video. However, it is not a captcha at all!!!

The enter button in the captcha box is actually a share button on facebook. In other words, by typing the captcha word and then click enter, what you really technically do is entering a comment and sharing it on facebook. That also explains why the captcha words are always like "fantastic" and people sharing their videos always leave a single word comment.

Clever strategy, isn't it?
