I may sound like I keep repeating myself when it comes to this subject, but common sense should really kick in when these kind of scam links are posted. I think it's Facebooks (and other social media network owners) job to create a new way to deal with all these, in order to stop them spreading so fast, but how would this be done??

How an earth would they not realise when they see that it just has a URL and no actual details? Why is the URL specialised in this?
Common sense is at an all time low.
