Malaysia Airlines mystery: Click here for the TRUTH

[Reefa]

Scammers are asking truth-seeking conspiracy theorists to ignore the inherent irony and give up some of their private data in order to find out the "truth" about the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

Scams circulating on Facebook and Twitter purport to offer video reports of the plane being found, some of which bizarrely claim that the Boeing 777 had been discovered on the other side of the world in the Bermuda Triangle.

The links in the dodgy messages take surfers to a fake YouTube page with an "age verification dialog". Security researchers have discovered that the age verification involves completing an online survey that supposedly offers a gateway to the non-existent footage.

In reality, it's a ruse to earn crooks a few cents in marketing affiliate revenues from dodgy online marketing firms that, at best, wastes a lot of people's time and (very likely) coaxes victims into handing over private information.

Facebook has been busily purging the social network of links to the scam but they are still reappearing, albeit in French and other languages rather than their original English language form.

Scammers and virus writers are seldom slow to exploit breaking news or a national disaster to promote their wares. This has happened time and time again.

"Anything asking you to share content or like something before watching a "shocking video" or asking you to complete surveys is likely going to end up being a scam," writes Chris Boyd, malware intelligence analyst at Malwarebytes, in a blog post. "There are more than enough genuine news sources out there to be able to confirm or debunk a supposedly breaking story with a few minutes [of] clicking."

Blogger Hoax Slayer uncovered the first known example of MH370 survey scams circulating on Facebook. Malwarebytes reports that the aviation disaster-themed survey scam is also spreading on Twitter.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went missing more than a week ago en route between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing. Malaysian authorities claimed over the weekend that the flight's MH370′s tracking systems were deliberately disabled while evidence from other systems suggests the plane changed course before flying for a further six hours or more. There have not as yet been any verified reports of a sighting of either the plane or the 239 people who were on board on Saturday 8 March when it vanished.

Considering the numerous alien acheivements throughout history, snatching an airliner should be rudimentary.

Look to all the stuff they've stolen in the Bermuda Triangle.

Could it be that 'someone' either destroyed or 'Hi-Jacked' Flight 370 in order to provoke a strong response from China, and get the major world powers to start fighting?and The world is going to fight, whether they like it or not

[FreeRyde]

Hijacked...yes.

Major world powers to start fighting?...no.

one thing is certain...no matter what actually happened...crash(and for whatever reason) or hi jacked( and for what ever reason) the passengers are no longer alive

I respectfully disagree. Until the plane is actually found, there is no way to ascertain whether the passengers are still alive.

This aircraft has now been missing longer than any other commercial airliner in aviation history. Since we still don't know (at the time of this post) what actually happened, it's human nature to opine what MIGHT have happened. But the rampant speculation by the media and other so-called 'experts' does NOT help matters. I'm ashamed of my brethren 'journalists' for some of the inane crap they are reporting (I have a degree in journalism). They need to stick to the KNOWN facts for now, which unfortunately are few and far between.

Next thing you know, they'll be telling us that D.B. Cooper and Amelia Earhart jointly hijacked the plane to the Bermuda Triangle.

. several instances of airplanes missing for very long times ..one is still missing in the usa...it went off the radar over Lake Erie and has never been found... the andes mountain crash where the plane was not found and the passengers had to resort to cannibalism...AMELIA EARHART and her co-pilot and the plane has never been found...the list goes on ...\i have a personal friend who died along with his father and older bother when their plane crashed in the North of canada about 25 years ago..the wreckage and the bodies were not found for about 10 weeks

this particular missing pane has some very suspicious happenings involved for this to be "just" a plane crash

Please accept my condolences for the loss of your friends. I cannot imagine enduring such a personal tragedy.

I am glad that my flying days are over. Ironically, my last flight was a business trip two months before 9/11 to Thailand and Cambodia.

My heart and prayers go out to the grief-stricken families of Flight 370.

I'll never forget the day after, Sept. 12, 2001...not a plane in the sky. It was so eerily quiet. Just the occasional roar of a fighter jet from a nearby military airfield.
