Have you found updates on your Facebook page, saying that you like videos on sites like FouTube, FbVideo and YoTube, and wondered what it's all about?
If so, you've fallen for a clickjacking scam - and you could be helping put more money into the pockets of the very people who tricked you into falling for their confidence trick.
Viral scams are spreading rapidly across Facebook, tricking unsuspecting users into saying they "Like" a page, which helps the links spread far and wide.
