Bangalore: With facebook?s popularity growing by the day and volumes of data generated and added by this social networking site to the pile, it has turned out to be a sanctuary for scammers to use it as a money making machine by posting spam.

In a recent research by Kaspersky Labs, a chain of videos lures viewers to click on ?bogus video links? as quoted by ZDnet. These videos have been scattered across facebook ?and tempts the users to view and in return leads them to a web of ?Java code? from which rolling back seems tedious.

Some of the many wacky different videos posted on facebook are *If you like Nutella, never look this video!!! *Drill a tooth abscess! Disgusting :s *Compilation of Embarrassing and Busted! Photos, Awesome :D *Transgender 10-Year-Old, Boy Happier As A Girl ! *A Really Giant Baby ! Amazing it looks so real :D *Air Race Plane Crashed in the crowd during a show ! *The worst thing that can happen to a girl!

Facebook?s many attempts to reduce the frequency of these videos showing up on the website, one of which is putting a New ?Wall? to detect spam will aim at warning users about potential risks. But it is upto the user whether to proceed to the video and view it.
