When clicking the link, users are taken to a Facebook app installation page which requests permission to install on the users account. If the user accepts, the app will try and post the same spammy links from that user’s Facebook account.

Once the app has installed itself, it can do all sorts of potentially nefarious things in the background. It can collect a user’s personal information, or try and lure the user off of Facebook and on to websites that may try and trick the user into installing malware onto their computer.

At the time of writing, Facebook have begun blocking many of the links.

We discuss these types of scams in more detail in our previous blog post here.
