Like most of these scams, this one relies on social engineering and piques the interest of prospective victims with messages like:
• "LOL This girl gets OWNED after a POLICE OFFICER reads her STATUS MESSAGE."
• "This man takes a picture of himself EVERYDAY for 8 YEARS!!"
• "The Prom Dress That Got This Girl Suspended From School."
