Have you or your friends been scammed on Facebook?
As of recently, there had been a lot of spam attacks and scams on Facebook. Most of them ask you to 'Like' something, to post a link to your Friends' walls, to share some content on your wall, to visit an application, etc. Most of them relate to Facebook features, like Facebook Credits or even the legendary Dislike button.
There's also been one that has been way smarter and worse than those ones. You got attacked by a worm who made you 'like' that page, and with Javascript coding, this made your account post spamming wall posts on your Friend's walls. Have a look at this article taken from Mashable.
This can make us realize how much clever scammers and spammers are getting, and what Facebook could do to stop them.

Thousands of Facebook users are being attacked by a nasty Facebook worm that forces you to “like” a Facebook page, which then automatically spreads it through a user’s wall.
According to SocialToo’s Jesse Stay, the scammers have figured out a way to exploit the “Like” button via Javascript and are using it to force users to like the page, thus spreading it inadvertently through postings on Facebook walls.
The result is thousands of wall posts for a page entitled “Shocking! This girl killed herself after her dad posted this photo.” Clicking the link enclosed spreads the worm further. Unfortunately, this is not the first time we’ve heard of such an exploit, but according to Facebook Search, a lot of people have been affected by this one.
