Beware of a Facebook scam that spams an image that promises to be a video of a “girl killed by husband just because she kissed another man.” The image shows a man holding a woman’s hair while another man holds a large sword or machete to the woman’s neck.
There is no realistic video of this event although the image of this woman’s alleged beheading has been on the internet for many years. This scam is designed to bait Facebook users into clicking malicious links that may direct them to malicious websites, including websites that attempt to appear like Facebook.
Once a user is presented with a alleged video, a notification message that says “To start the video, please share it below.”
Some ill-informed and inexperienced websites may claim that this is a new scam, but this scam has been around for many years.
This scam is used to cause anxiety, shock, and fear in order to spread malware. and trojan horses
If you see an image or video on your Facebook news feed that says “Girl killed by husband just because she kissed another man” DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS and make sure to report it to Facebook. If your friend posted or shared this content it is likely that they are duped by this scam.
