The latest scamware sweeping across Facebook cruelly touts video footage of Serene Branson’s stroke during the live broadcast of the Grammy Awards, but only links to a marketing survey exposing you to malware while making a commission for the schemer.
If you’ve already clicked on this application, called Reporter Stroke, remove all signs of it from your profile — delete its messages from your wall, and then remove the app itself by clicking on the right-hand corner of your screen to account settings. For a step-by-step tutorial on how to do this, click here to watch a cool video put together by our friends at the security company Sophos, which first identified this latest scam.
Have you seen posts about this particular scam on your friends’ walls? Has anyone reported it to Facebook yet?
Saw the video on Youtube. The lady clearly was not making any sense and you can see that she knew it. Doctors said she did not show any clear signs of a stroke soooo, maybe she was possessed by the holy ghost or something and speaking in tongues. what ever her issue was, the next thing to happen (if history repeats itself) is the same thing that happened to Antoine Dodson and get her own show…plus she'll end up as a web redemption on Tosh.O.

My theory is that she did too much blow while partying with the stars during the pre-show. This is a clear case of coke jaw. CBS took down all of the YouTube videos, but you can still see Serene Branson's coke habit spiral out of control thanks to my trusty flip cam!

Thanks for the warning. Luckily, I hadn't gotten around to clicking on it, but I did see the microblog a few days ago, I believe.
