With Valentine's Day approaching on February 14th, scammers on Facebook are ramping up their efforts to take advantage of the traditional day of love to make a quick buck out of unsuspecting users.
Facebook users are being tricked into clicking on messages that they believe their online friends have posted, how to put a heart or love poem on their sweetheart's wall.
