Facebook is facing no shortage of attacks from scammers. Yesterday, I posted a blog about a recent scam being circulated on the Facebook network and only a few hours later, we uncovered yet another one.

The interesting fact about this scam is that it is not only posting the malicious message to the wall of the victim’s friends, but it also gets a list of online friends to send them chat message like “hey you are still there?Check my wall for the link ^_^ It showed me who viewd my profile. Amazing :p" with a link to the malicious domain. Here is what the wall posts look like:

When a user clicks on the links in the message, they are presented with a fake pop up displaying how many friends are supposedly viewing the victim’s profile. Here is a screenshot:
