Whoa! Facebook Porn Spam!

Some bloggers have been noting fairly recently that they've begun getting spam messages in their Facebook Inbox.

I just got one for the first time -- apparently for porn, from an alleged Facebook person named Julie Padilla who, strangely enough, seems to have no Facebook friends of her own. Here's what the message said:

how's it goin' Kevin? i thought you looked cool, and i try to chat with you, but i can't see how here on facebook. if you want, you should check out my other profile at http://snipurl.com/1xebr my username's senzateaser. we can chat there, just dont mind the bad pics, lol. soooo, ya, see you i hope.

Good luck if you plan to check her site out. Hope you have good virus protection.
