Once you are enticed to click on these messages, you will likely be made to visit sites where you will be bombarded with ads or surveys. It is also possible that by clicking on these messages, you will download malicious files such as viruses, trojans and other malwares into your computer.

Nevertheless, if you have already clicked on these messages and your account is starting to send clickjacking and spammy messages on facebook, here's a guide on how to remove facebook scam messages and applications:
