Here is another Facebook video scam: "[Painful Video] Friends did this to her forcefully and she ended up in emergency", created by cyber-criminals, which will take Facebook users to a fake Facebook website, in an attempt to trick them into sharing it or completing surveys, by promising to show them a video depicted by the image in the Facebook post. But, there is no video.

OMG She ended up in emergency after Friends did this forcefully with her so shameful, can't even call them friends

If you click on this Facebook post (DO NOT), you will be taken to the malicious/compromised and fake Facebook website seita56307.zomoapp.com.

The scammer cybercriminals behind this scam will change the website names and images, so watch out for similar scams with different website names and images.

Once on the website, the victim will be asked to complete surveys or share the same website before he/she can view the video.

I saw this in my feed, and clicked on it, but once it asked me to share, I close the window and went back to what I was doing before. Is there a chance I got some kind of virus or something from the site?

  No, not unless you have downloaded something. But as a precautionary measure use the antivirus software on your computer to do a full scan of it.
