Virus/Spam on Facebook?

I received a message in my facebook inbox from an old highschool friend that has all the hallmarks of some kind of spam. I don't just mean the usual annoying JoinApp garbage but a real phishing style email that seems to have hijacked an account.

The text was:

Hi Friend,

You've been catched on hidden cam yo:


This is followed by a link similar to youtube that I won't paste hear to prevent further spread.

Is this a new phenomenon? Can someone's Facebook account be hijacked through a malicious app or something?

Has anyone received a similar message?
