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 are this week’s Top 10 lists:

A few notes about this week’s list:
Looking at the Dangerous list, we are seeing a lot of video game related scams. Those specific scams focus on offerings of free points or game cash. As every week, we see a few social games (those played through the Facebook platform) on the list.
The Spamiest list contains a hodge podge of pages from sports to musical artists to social games. Remember the spam usually appears on wall comments.
