If you're on Facebook, beware of two "shocking" new video scams that could show up in friends' status updates. No matter how interesting they appear to be, do not click on the links! Even though these videos follow the same pattern as recent well-publicized scams, users are still falling for them. 

The Internet news blog Mashable explains how the video scams work: You may see the rogue status updates on one or more of your friends' Facebook pages. If you click on the link that is posted as part of the status update, you'll go to a rogue Facebook application where you'll be asked to answer a number of survey questions before seeing the video. Don't fall for it! It's a ploy designed to extract your personal information. Even if you just click on the link and then back out before answering the survey questions, the rogue app will be posted as your own user status on Facebook. This is how the two scams are spreading virally.
 

Video scam No. 1:
The following message appears in Facebook status updates of those who have fallen for the ploy:
"I am shocked!!! I'm NEVER texting AGAIN since I found this out. Video here: **http://bit.ly/c4SDyh** - Worldwide scandal!"
 

Video scam No. 2:
The following message appears in Facebook status updates of those who have fallen for the ploy:
"I am shocked!!! The teacher nearly killed this boy. Video here: **http://tiny.cc/horrifying** - Worldwide scandal!"
 

Be smart! Do not click on suspicious links.

Never give away your personal information.

If you are caught in one of these scams, delete the app from your Facebook apps and remove the status message from your newsfeed.

Warn your friends about these scams!
