MH17 victims' bodies loaded into refrigerated train cars

‘I really hope that my aunt's body is sent back to Malaysia' says victim's relative

At least six Facebook pages were created using the names of victims killed when the plane was shot down over eastern Ukraine, according to a report from the Canberra Times. The pages contained a link to a blog site claiming to have information about the crash, but users who clicked it on it were instead hit with pop-up ads for “online gambling, get-rich-quick schemes, and other dubious products and services.” Facebook has since removed the pages, Mashable reports.

The previous Malaysia Airlines tragedy, which involved the disappearance of Flight 370 in March, also attracted Facebook scammers. Fake news stories and videos popped up on the social networking site, some (falsely) claiming that the plane had been found. But users who clicked on the site were taken to external sites aimed at harvesting their personal information or asking them to complete surveys that would earn the scammers money.
