We are continuing with our weekly “Top 10” lists of the most dangerous and spamiest Facebook Pages. If you would like to read how we come up with the lists, check out our initial post here but here is how we define each category…
Most Dangerous Category: This category could be a post or comment containing a dangerous link. These links can lead to malware, phishing, or suspicious/dangerous Facebook applications that gather personal information and use people’s accounts for spam.
Spamiest Category: The spam noted could be Wall spam or comment spam. All the spam messages included in the tally contain at least one URL and have been posted multiple times across different pages and post comments.
Here is this week’s Top 10 lists.

A few notes about this week’s list:
Looking at the Dangerous rankings, we are seeing the same pages every week. They seem to be cycling in and out of the Top 10. Also, our undisputed king of the Dangerous Top 10 is Justin Beiber. This will be three weeks holding the #1 spot. A reminder: these pages appear due to dangerous links in the comments or wall spam.
The Spamiest rankings have seen social games holding steady. Of special interest are three Turkish pages: Turkce rap, Arabesk Rap, and KopTuq mu? xDe..!. These pages seem to be connected through the same sponsor and have been targeted with general spam.
