Facebook Warning: Ligromind Scam
A word of warning: don’t click links to “Ligromind [dot] com” or “Killselfz [dot] com” if they turn up in your Facebook mail. These both links are spam which seem to be spreading quickly through out the social network.
These scams usually propagate themselves by downloading malware to your machine, then blasting messages to all your friends – either to spread the malware further, or to drive traffic to spam sites, or both. You must have seen such scam already on Windows Live Messenger. When anyone from your buddy list generates an automated spam message with links. You click on the links it then propagates ahead towards your buddy list.
Facebook has become increasingly good at blocking these URLs as soon as they become an issue, hence the “link” you’ll receive (seemingly from a Facebook friend) isn’t hyperlinked, but has a space between the site name and the dot-com.
In case you also happen to receve such e-mail, just delete it without opening it.
Also if you find your account is sending these mails to your friends, do run a full virus/malware scan, clear your browser cookies and change your Facebook password.
