The all new Facebook XSS scammers
Am surprised that I have not heard about it on any of the tech blogs. Every other day I get a mail from facebook from one of my friends to see this amazing picture or solve a riddle.

The scam starts with an email from your friend with the link to a facebook page ( Do not open it before you've read the whole post and understand the consequences ). When you open the page you see the wizard with the following steps. Step #1: Press and HOLD CTRL AND press the letter C The step is nice and animated so that you know what you are doing. When you have clicked it takes you to step 2. Which shows that you have "Successfully Copied Code To Your Clipboard!". It does not tell you what code but just that some code has been copied. Step #2: Press and HOLD ALT AND press the letter D Even in this step
