The Rihanna adult tape scam we saw a few months ago making the rounds on Facebook must have been an enormous success since scammers have just launched a similar campaign, Graham Cluley reports.

“OMG I Just Hate RIHANNA After Watching This Video [LINK] you will lost your all respect for RIHANNA after watching this,” reads the almost identical post.

Same as last time, users are promised a video of the pop star in return for a Like, a Share and a few other clicks.

While it seems that there’s nothing dangerous in the process, the “blind” clicks can always trigger something malicious.

In the best case scenario, you are helping some fraudsters fill their pockets with commission earned from affiliate marketing programs, but you’ll certainly never see the much promised video and you’ll never win that fabulous prize.
