“Who blocked you from his friend list?” is one of the events that have already tricked around 165,000 Facebook users into signing-in and almost 10.3 millions still deciding on responding. If they will respond, they will also be a victim of the fraud.

The scammers have embedded the instructions into ‘More info’ section of event’s summary, which convinces the users to visit the online surveys and respond. These surveys are just fake ones that are made only to generate revenues and commissions.
