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.
