This is a phishing scam and there is no video of you. So, do not be fooled. If a message was sent from your friends with a link to this malicious website, contact the friend instead of blocking them. Let them know that they should change their passwords and remove all unknown Facebook applications from their account. A malicious Facebook application may be sending these posts from their accounts. <a href="/article/2013/1/7/easily-delete-or-remove-facebook-applications/" target="_blank">Click here for instructions for removing a Facebook application.</a>
