Online Threat Alerts (OTA)

Scammers on Facebook are creating posts asking Facebook users to type "Share Now" or "Pick Me" in order to receive cash and gift cards. The posts are being used to trick Facebook users into commenting on them or sharing them in order to make them popular and gather up potential victims. Once they have enough Facebook users, they will start sending them spam (unsolicited messages) with links that will take potential victims to phishing websites that will steal their information, or malicious links that will take them to dangerous websites that will infect their computers with Spyware or Trojan horse.

The scammers may also send fraudulent messages claiming that their potential victims are so-called lottery winners and they need to send money in order to claim their prizes.
