I found this fascinating so I'm posting it. It asks the user to copy-paste JS code in the URL bar, which is obfuscated code that automatically suggests the page to all your friends. And it redirects to a SMS scam. Wow!

Yeah, I'm ashamed to say that I fell for it. Thinking that it would simply show a request dialog with all of my friends selected (like other pages), I ran the Javascript. In hindsight, that was a moronic and dangerous thing to do, and I ended up bugging all of my friends about it...
