The comeback of this age old Facebook scam was spotted by CyberNews, who detailed the threat in a post online.

The cybersecurity experts discovered that the latest version of the Facebook “Is That You” scam managed to trick almost half a million people in the space of just two weeks.

The scam begins with a Facebook Messenger user receiving a message allegedly from one of their friends.

The message allegedly highlights a video one of your contacts has stumbled upon and asks whether you’re in the clip.

However, when clicked upon the alleged video doesn’t show the recipient caught unawares.

Instead it leads to a Facebook Messenger user through a chain of websites infected with malicious software.

Eventually, those targeted by the scam may end up on a phishing website design to harvest sensitive information from a visitor.

And, depending on the device you’re on, these websites could add further insult to injury by also infecting your machine with adware and other kinds of malware.

The latest version of the Facebook scam was spotted on January 26, with over 480,000 potential victims up until February 8.

So far, the vast majority of victims have been based in Germany. Some 77 percent of targeted Facebook users were in Germany (376,701 people).

CyberNews has taken steps to help stop the spread of this campaign.

They have reported their findings to Facebook directly and also contacted a URL shortening company to disable a short URL that scammers had created to spread the latest Messenger con.

Advising Facebook and Facebook Messenger users on how to stay safe, CyberNews offered some advice. They said…

• Use unique and complex passwords for all of your online accounts. Password managers help you easily create strong passwords and notify you of password reuse.

• Use multi-factor authentication where possible.

• Beware of any messages sent to you, even from your contacts. • Phishing attacks usually employ some type of social engineering to lure users into clicking malicious links or downloading infected files.

• Be mindful of any suspicious activity on your Facebook or other accounts.

Mr John…she stammered.shhhhh I said. If I tell your mom you were actually f****** on my couch she’ll beat you ground you or? Yeah I know. How can we make this right? Well if I won’t tell you can’t tell. Come over here and sit on my lap. No straddle my legs and face me. Are we going to really f***? No sweetie. You are 13, and I’m not insane. But a little foreplay to give you your o***** would be a nice way to end your night. She edged up to me , saw the huge bulge in my pants. And spread her thighs apart and nestled her tight little a** on my legs. God she was warm. I parted her blouse snd palm ribbed her n******. A minute later she closed her eyes and leaned backwards, her tongue lolling in her mouth. I Slowely began sucking and licking her now hardening n******. Slurp. Slurp. I suckled her tips. Oh oh Mr John you really know how to s*** n******. She panted. Now I ran my fingernails from her spread open knees to her very inner thighs. She felt terrific and parted her thighs wider. I smelled her young eager p**** aroma. It was intoxicating. You smell so fresh sweetie. My name is Lizzie. Call me Lizzie. As I messaged her thighs she respread hrr thighs. Am I all drippy? She asked. I moved my fingers to the edge of her vaginal flesh. Yes swee Lizz you are a little slippery. Met I touch your very soft p**** Lizz? Yes yes I ran my fingers over the slushy slit. From a** hole to her c*** I let my fingers fiddle and wiggle in between her inner and outer lips. Nearly virgin as she was the flesh was delicate and lovely. My fingers and c*** tingled as I played with her p****. She gasped a little. Oh oh oh press on my c******* Mr John. Rub it gently. It’s all on fire down there.what’s on fire? My hot p**** Mr John. I know Lizz but it will get much much hotter . I felt up between her inner lips and gently rubbing her buttonwatcher her face contorted as she bit met bottom lip. Ooooo ooooo. Ooooo she slobbered. Yes honey let it go let it grow wild up into your belly and spread. I will get much more exciting. Her 13 yr old p**** enraged my c*** snd it twitched maddeningly. I caressed the wet button slowly and drew circles around it then tapped it seversl times. Then pinched it and then pressed on it. Then gripped the tiny button. Oh oh oh I’m i’m ( I stopped all movements. She unstiffenefd her torso and nearly collapsed. No no no don’t stop. Just for a minute. Your climb up will be even better. Oh s*** oh s*** I have to peepee. Go ahead let it come. She let loose snd peed into a cup i ok held. I watched her urinate and nearly blew my wad. She finished. I wiped her puss and slid my finger to her wet c******* again. Yes yes yes as I rolled my finger over the now very tender c*** I lifted her Fanny closer to my chest. Now my hot breath covered her c***. But also bared her tiny button slowly and hole. It was pink and puckered. Tho delicious looking I chose to use my other finger to eiggle it over her sss hole. She jiggled her a** cheeks trying to tighten them, but I pulled them apart and slid my index finger up into her lovely little yielding hole as fsr as I could. Once fullly inserted I wiggled it round and round and round. She gagged a bit but I gently lifted the hood on her c*** and sucked it into my lips. My waiting tongue began licking her c*** faster and faster. She grunted. She cried out as her wave of lust built up. As I sucked harder she waved her arms skyward snd grabbed her n******, pinching hard. A wild scream may have begun, but no sound was emitting from her gasping mouth. Her a** rippled and bounced on my legs. She stiffened and then looking into my eyes she collapsed against my body. Gasping for oxygen she sagged into e***** exstacy. Oh god oh god. I hugged her tiny body warmly. Was it good for you Lizz? I asked.
