Facebook spam messages says WWE Champion Rey Mysterio dies during fight

A spam message is circulating on Facebook that WWE wrestler Rey Mysterio has died in a stunt gone wrong. The message actually includes a link that supposedly provides more information about the accident, but in real spammer is just tricking users to redirect on survey website using his referral URL. The user is then presented a webpage that promises him/her the chance to win an iPad, a Westfield gift card, an iPhone or a grocery voucher in return for the completion of a survey. In fact, the message is a survey scam designed to trick users into installing a rogue Facebook application.
