Facebook users are finding themselves tagged in their online friends' photo albums, in an attack seemingly targeted at fans of the "Twilight" teen vampire romance movies.

Following an attack against photo albums using an image of a Playboy-style bunny girl, scammers are now pretending to link to a game promoting the upcoming movie "Twilight Breaking Dawn" starring heart throbs Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as the starcrossed lovers Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.

As well as Facebook photo albums, users are also being tricked into "Liking" the scam links.

If you click on such a link then you will be taken to a Facebook page which to all intents and purposes appears to be promoting an online game, being used to market Twilight Breaking Dawn.

But if you click on the button marked "Play Now" then you will be clickjacked into saying you "Like" the link, thus spreading the link virally to your Facebook friends.
