Another day, another clickjacking scam on Facebook. This certainly seems to be becoming a successful model for scammers who want to earn some cash - and while it's working so well, why should they change their methodology?

The latest scam which innocent Facebook users are being tricked into clicking on involves a message about singer and actress Christina Aguilera, who earlier this week was arrested in Hollywood. Although Aguilera was later released, and told that she would not be charged, her boyfriend Matthew Rutler faces a drink-driving charge.

Here's what the scam looks like when one of your Facebook friends falls for it:

If people were that interested in fake story's surely they would just google as soon as they seen this crap to confirm, instead of click and infect/spread!
