Williams’ death used as ‘click-bait’

An internet security company is warning about a widespread Facebook scam that is exploiting the tragic suicide of comic actor Robin Williams.

ESET Ireland said the scam that claims to show a ‘goodbye’ video made by Williams before he took his life last week had spread widely on the popular social utility.

When Facebook users click on the link they are told to share it with their online friends and complete a survey before they can watch the video.
