We are not even in the States so this was really weird. Tried looking it up online and didn't find anything. Only that Charles D Singleton facebook page (which I guess belongs to the real person or someone made it up for the scam??) Anybody else received this? I'm very curious about it. So far I have always encountered other people receiving the same scam emails as me so this is weird.
Thanks!

The scam begins with what seems to be an automated bot-response posted on Facebook.  One of the outstanding questions -- can anyone identify a bot that is making these spammy posts?  These are a few examples from many thousands observed over the past week. Step One: Unknown malware uses stolen Facebook credentials to post a spammy comment link. We'll just do one walk through here, but each of these functions in the same way.  The spam post, which often will be added as a comment to a publicly shared post that mentions a movie, links to a Facebook page.  Let's walk through the Ogbani Wanyu post first.

Recently popular movies have Facebook pages created that claim to offer the ability to watch full movies and share a shortened URL
