Last week, authorities in a global operation shut down a total of 9,000 websites of well-known pharmacies that sell their medicines over the internet.
According to a post by Hoax Slayer, we're a long way from what's happening if we think this move will stop the problem. The post reports that there's a new spam campaign being used to trick Facebook into visiting pharmacy websites based in Canada.
The spam comes as fake Facebook updates and is supposedly from Facebook Support.
They inform recipients that they have some notifications or that someone sent them a message.
However, the links from these messages do not lead to Facebook, but to pharmacy websites.
These websites usually do not contain malware, as their main purpose is to convince users to buy one of their products. So, if you click on the links contained in the supposedly Facebook emails, the only thing that is certain is that you will not end up on Facebook.
