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.

Tips for a Happy Marriage

By
Marriage Boundaries You probably got married as friends, but then found yourselves running into difficulty because you each had your own way of living and doing. You came from one family, and your partner came from another family, and those families were different. Your job as a couple is to create some boundaries and rules that will guide you in your marriage. But if you’ve never created any rules before, and you or your partner don’t like rules and boundaries, it won’t be an easy task. Who is the Leader? You are equal partners making decisions in marriage. Responsibilities must be divided up. You need policies, procedures, and rules in order to work cooperatively as well as independently. You will enjoy working together as you know each other better and gain confidence in each other’s decision-making ability. Developing faith and trust takes many months. Forging a new way of life from your different backgrounds takes time and patience. Remember, you are equa...

Can Nightmares Cause Death? Spirit Possession? Mental Illness?

By
A lot of the research on nightmares suggests these events test the strength of one’s mind. If the mind is not strong, nightmares can take hold with greater force and the torment can extend beyond one’s dreams. Dr. Patrick McNamara of the Boston University School of Medicine looks at nightmares in a modern clinical context that also takes into account the history of dream phenomena in many cultures. He connects nightmares with a world of malevolent spirits. Spirit Possession Some people who experience frequent nightmares, both today and throughout history, also show signs in waking life of mental illness and even what may be seen as spirit possession. Dr. McNamara seems unabashed in speaking about spirit possession. “Nightmares very often involve supernatural characters that attack or target the dreamer in some way. I mean monsters, creatures, demons, spirits, unusual animals, and the like,” Dr. McNamara said in an interview with Boston University’s alumni publicat...
