dove-shampoo-scam


I saw this on Facebook and left and image I can't get rid of. What is this? It said it's the cause of using head and shoulders shampoo. Which I USE!! PLEASE help me figure out what is going on and what this thing is suppose to be on the person's body.

A video is going around that you have to share on FB before you
can watch it. It claims Dove shampoo caused this huge, creepy growth on a
person's shoulder that has these spores or pods growing in it.



The Truth:


The video is a hoax and the image to entice a computer user to watch the video is a graphic manipulation using a Photoshop type program.

 

 If you get such warning in an email or social media do not click it. It could lead you to a website that could infect your computer or possibly “clickjack” your computer. “Clickjacking” is a scam that tricks the computer user into changing privacy settings on social media sites, like Facebook.

there is no video on offer here, and the image of an injury to a man’s shoulder has been digitally manipulated, as the image clearly shows a lotus seed pod digitally ‘photoshopped’ onto the photo. A similar scam circulated shortly before this scam began appearing that saw a lotus seed pod ‘photoshopped’ onto the image of a woman’s breast along with a fake caption that it was a larvae infestation.





 

The best way to handle such scamming come-ons is to give them a wide berth: do not click through on associated links, don't share those links on Facebook, and do not participate in any related surveys.
