I want to share with you my experience. Last August 7th, 2017, I receive a private message and I am surprised he is in my friend list. I recommend not to add a person you didn't know because of hacker like him. He sent me a message like you can see on the message below.
Translation
Hacker: (Link for his scam)
Hacker: Is that you in the video?
Hacker: It's trending now
Me: Is this a virus?
Hacker: No
Hacker: Just saw it recently
Me: You're a hacker. I will not open this
Hacker: Huh? (really??)
I want to give you an aware about Social Media Phishing Scam so you cannot lose anything valuable information inside you Facebook or any account, and all the information that your friend sent to you. After I click the link that Hacker sent me you would see this screenshot below.
It seems pretty legit Facebook website, for you to see what he tells me the video that he had seen about me. You must login and put your account. This is where the magic starts if you put your email and password then he got access to your account so don't give him an access to your account. Pity for us if we got scammed of people like him.

Conclusion
Be aware of this thing especially if we have money on a digital currency like Bitcoin. He is my friend on my facebook until I blocked him already. I am not aware he is on my friend list. Don't be fooled for attacks like this; however, in the future, I expect it may become harder to see which are phishing. The criminals are doing things that show them that they are legit.
There are many types of phishing according to wikipedia you can check it our here if you want know more of it
Using some security and a password that is long enough that is harder to guess is the thing we need to do. I recommend using also the 2-factor authenticator and phone security. Be careful guys and please stay safe as always.
