Facebook Browser Plug-In Scams

Most Facebook scams come in the form of status updates which urge you to check out a sensationalistic looking video. Some people are becoming desensitized
to these scam looking messages, which is why Facebook frauds are upping their game by making their messages look more believable.

Rather than using clickjacking scams with sensationalistic headlines scammers are using more benign messages (in the form of interesting videos and coupons from reputable places) that ask people to install a browser extension for their Firefox or Chrome browser. “Installing” the plugin in will spread the same message to your friends and puts you at risk of viruses, spyware, and malware.
