For more, read "Scams surfacing on Twitter, Facebook" on CNET News.
Twitter and Facebook users were getting hit with scams on Monday.
Twitter users warned about direct messages that said: "I make money online with google. i learned how here [link]."
According to Twitter users, the link leads to a phishing page and is likely being generated by a virus.
On Facebook, people were seeing messages from friends that said: "just take a look at it and read it over and try it if you want [link]." The link goes to a site that appears to be hosting malware.
Accounts that are generating the messages are likely compromised and the owners should change their passwords immediately.
