July 16 we blogged about Facebook spam that offers some amazing photo or video but instead lures you into some goofy �survey� that is aimed at collecting your cell phone number. Bottom line is a $9.99 charge on you phone bill for something you didn�t want. (Sunbelt blog piece: �OMG OMG don�t fall for Facebook spam� here.)
And, of course, every time someone falls for one of these and �likes� it, he posts it to Facebook, so the spam spreads:
Simple rule for Facebook: if your friend�s wall posting contains �OMG� and a URL, avoid it. If it wants you to �like� it, REALLY avoid it.
�OMG� Facebook spam has become a new genre.
