The Ukrainian Facebook scam we blogged about on Friday has similar campaigns for MySpace, ICQ, and Vkontakte. All of the scam sites are identical in design and require the payment of $100 except for the Vkontakte scam site. Vkontakte is a Russian clone of Facebook and the scam offers to hack Vkontakte profiles for 1500 rubles, which is about $50 USD.

What's strange here is that the Ukrainian scam crew responsible for these scam sites are making a run at conning Russians, which is a tactic we don't see very often in the labs.
