RAUNCHY Rihanna sex tapes have emerged as one of the top scams on Facebook.
The Barbados-born songstress was found to feature in 17 per cent of all scams on the social network site, with some victims who tried to ogle the bogus tapes tricked into entering private data.
Promises of software allowing users to see who's viewed their profile was also found to be a prolific scam on Facebook.
The results were revealed after six months of research by antivirus maker Bitedefender, which said the findings revealed social media users' deepest desires.
"Scammers have a keen interest in piquing users' curiosity and they feel no compunction about outright lying," said Bitedefender security strategist Catalin Cosoi.
"The frequency of certain themes in social media scams can teach us how to avoid scams.
"It can also offer us a glimpse into the hidden desires of many Facebook users."
Other celebrities used in online scams included Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Chris Brown.
Another major scam involved the promise of software allowing Facebook users to check if online friendships had been terminated.
