How The Scam Works:
Facebook constantly changes its design leading criminals to experiment on new scams, relying on the novelty aspect. One of the latest ones is the Facebook Membership, aka Pay for Facebook scam.
Scammers require users to pay different monthly amounts (under $10) per memberships of all kind (Gold, Silver, etc). In the case of not paying, users are threatened with the closing of their account.
