'Justin Bieber Stabbed By Crazed Fan' Facebook Scam Circulates Anew

Justin Bieber stabbed?

A Facebook scam which tricks users with a message that says singing sensation Justin Bieber was stabbed by a crazed fan is spreading again on the social networking site.

Its versions include the following:

OMG! NOOOO! Could YOU Even Imagine?!?

Justin Bieber STABBED By CRAZED Fan Outside N.Y.C. NightClub!

It circulated on Facebook late last year and it appears to have gone viral again. What makes it a scam is that there was no stabbing incident that happened. If there was, it should have been reported in trusted international news sites.

Additionally, if a Facebook user will make a mistake on clicking the link, he will be transported to a webpage that appears to contain a Youtube video of the alleged "Justin Bieber stabbing incident." But before the video can be viewed, the user will be asked to share the link on his wall or timeline. After the share, the user has to take a survey before he can access the video. There will be no real video of the incident because it did not happen. The scammers are only using the claim that Justin Bieber was stabbed to earn commission from the money making surveys.
