FarmVille Husky Scam hitting Facebook users

FarmVille Husky Scam hitting Facebook users

In my last post i wrote the ways to avoid facebook scams. Today i saw another facebook scam hitting facebook users. This scam is named as Husky Scam. This scam is targetting FarmVille players. The spam message spread by the scam's victims reads: "Do you want to claim this Husky? [user] came across a Husky on their farm! This Husky is available for a limited time!"


The link included with the message takes users to a Facebook page which displays the FarmVille logo and a dialog asking them if they want to accept the "Limited Edition Husky" reward. If a user click on "Yes" it prompts users to publish the spam message on their wall. Agreeing to do this will direct the user to another dialog asking them if they want to try a "farm cash mission" in order to earn 155 farm cash, the currency use in FarmVille. On Clicking the "Accept" button will prompt yet another window instructing the user to complete one of several surveys in order to claim their prize.


Victim users should remove this spam message from their wall by clicking on the X and mark this as a spam too.
