Pregnant Girl Scam: Facebook ‘[Shocking Video] You Won’t Believe What This Pregnant Girl Does’ Leads to Malicious Site

By
A viral Facebook scam is claiming to have video footage of a “pregnant girl” doing something will lead users to malicious websites.
There’s several different versions of the scam, but one prominent one reads, “[Shocking Video] You Won’t Believe What This Pregnant Girl Does!”
It shows a pregnant woman with a video play button over it.
However, there’s no video and when Facebook users attempt to click on it, they’re directed to a fake website designed to look like Facebook. The website then asks users to share it before accessing the content.
“The scammer cybercriminals behind this scam will change the website names and images, so watch out for similar scams with different website names and images,” Online Threat Alerts said in a post.
The website can either have fake surveys that should not be filled out, malware, or a rogue Facebook app.
“Once on the website, the victim will be asked to complete surveys or share the same website before he/she can view the video. Now, sharing this web page will only help spread this scam to other Facebook users. And, completing the surveys will only generate revenue for the cybercriminals behind this scam,” Online Threat Alerts adds.
If you’ve shared the post, it’s best to delete it, and iff you see a survey, don’t fill it out.
And if you have allowed an app access to your account, there are steps to delete it.
To remove the app, make sure you’re logged into your Facebook account, and  then go to your Facebook application settings. The page will list all the applications.
Users should then go below and click the “X” on the right side of the app in order to remove it. Some of the fake scam apps use names like “CNN,” “Fox News,” “Yahoo,” “YouTube,” or legitimate-sounding names to trick users.

6 Online Dating Mistakes to Avoid

By
So, you’d like to meet someone and have decided to go online. That’s a good move — proactive and forward-thinking. But be careful not to be lulled into habits that will undermine your online dating experience. Here are some tips to keep in mind as you peruse the seemingly endless stream of profiles from prospective partners. 1. Don’t go crazy over the pictures. On the Internet, it's easy to feel nitpicky and maintain high expectations. With apps like Tinder, you snap-judge users as if you were scrolling Amazon for the best pair of speakers. This sense of being in the driver’s seat, of choosing, can be appealing. It makes you feel powerful. Fight it. If what you want is a real connection — a relationship with a person you hope to love and who will love you — you will have to bring your most mature and empathetic self to the project. That means not saying, “Eh, she’s cute — but I prefer brunettes to blondes. Next!” You’d never behave this way in person, so do...

The Power of Love

By
Love is as critical for your mind and body as oxygen. It's not negotiable. The more connected you are, the healthier you will be both physically and emotionally. The less connected you are, the more you are at risk. It is also true that the less love you have, the more depression you are likely to experience in your life. Love is probably the best antidepressant there is because one of the most common sources of depression is feeling unloved. Most depressed people don't love themselves and they do not feel loved by others. They also are very self-focused, making them less attractive to others and depriving them of opportunities to learn the skills of love. There is a mythology in our culture that love just happens. As a result, the depressed often sit around passively waiting for someone to love them. But love doesn't work that way. To get love and keep love you have to go out and be active and learn a variety of...
