#7 The “Dislike” Button

This scam continues to be a most successful trick still in Facebook. Apparently, it seems like many of us need a “dislike” button, similar to the “like” button available to show the opinion on a status update or picture. The scam promises you to install you a “dislike” button. But what actually some versions of this scam do is it will run a complicated JavaScript in users’ machines. It also spams itself to the walls of other users in the network and also leads to a fake survey scam.

#6 Twitter Direct Messages With Bad Links

This kind of spam also appears in Facebook walls along with Twitter. Luring questions like “is this you in this video?” and “someone is making terrible rumors about you” will force you click a link. In return you will get a malicious link that never shows you any video about you, but instead, downloads malware to your computer.
