I have got this before too from my other friend i didn't responded to it.
But for a try i just clicked the URL given and suddenly i got a message from Facebook Team saying that the link is not safe.
I still proceeded to link as i was eager to know how the site looks.
As usual a simple site with a single web page.
Actually,i am always alive on web so in instant i got the idea that the page is fake but for ordinary people its not that easy to dectect it.

Why cant we people dectect these spams??

*The prime thing is that we all will give a try if we get a chance to get something for free.
It's nature all human..
So.. Sorry me too in this category..

*The second thing..This is the place wheir creativity matters.
Lookin above example,just look the URL: http://apple.com-offers.in/
This is the place wheir the spammer have made his choice.Just look how selective he is towards the domain selection.In single word just excellent.
The domain exactly is compatible to a domain which will arise some confusion among the users who read it.
Actually the domain is: http://com-offers.in/ and in place of 'www' he have used 'apple'.
If it was 'www' the URL would be: http://www.com-offers.in/
Geeks would be knowing..
Its just simple explanation for you guys.
*And third is,the description used.
He have used the updated informations so it will look like a orginal event.

Got it.!!

So i think you have gt a clear idea how they work..
Now,next time when you get a Event invitation please think before you proceed.
As they ask us to invite our friends too for getting prizes the spam will soon get spread.

Anyway,this invitation have already got 9100+ People joined it and 140000+ invitees in pending.
So,please dont spread any more if you get it.
Why should we change Facebook to Spambook.
Add you feedbacks about it.
Clear your queries by asking us.
Feel free to share.
