Via Justin Luna at Neowin… nothing new about social media and scamming, but this one is nes.

“Malware has recently been seen spreading to Facebook users on Google Chrome, which takes the form of an innocent-looking notification. According to Hackread, a user will be notified of what seems to be a friend who tagged them on a certain comment on a Facebook post. If the user clicks on the notification, malware will be downloaded to the computer. While downloading the file isn't enough to infect a computer, those who are not aware at how these scammers work might just execute the file, which will then activate the malware inside it.

The malware's behavior can be compared to the recently reported RAA ransomware, which takes advantage of JavaScript files in order to trick users into opening the file.

It is still not known if the malware only targets Google Chrome users, or users of other browsers like Edge, Firefox, or Safari have experienced any similar problems.” – Neowin

So…don’t click on any ‘tags’. Relate to all tag notifications as spurious and potentially real trouble.
