Facebook on Friday afternoon investigated what appeared to be a new spam scheme that results in users getting messages from friends over Facebook chat that have malicious links.

The messages say "LOL is this you?" and are followed by a link that appears to be a facebook video but generally sends you to a malicious website and/or 'causes your account to start spamming out the same message. So far it's been fairly minor but things like these can turn into a horrible spam that everyone has to deal with for awhile. Hopefully they fix it soon like when Twitter had the same problem.
