Fake Facebook Email Such as for “New Login System” One of Many Facebook Scams   - 2,045 Views,

If you get an email that supposedly comes from Facebook .com, directing you to follow a link to your Facebook login page (for example, to use the “new login system”), ask yourself “Does this link really go to my Facebook login page?” Then check by hovering over the link, to see where it really goes. Odds are good that it will go to a fake Facebook log in URL, not to the real Facebook sign in link. This is an effort to steal your Facebook log in password, and as more people hack Facebook, create a Facebook virus, or perpetrate a Facebook imposter scam or other Facebook scams, you will find more and more of these in your inbox.

Many Facebook problems and Facebook risks can be avoided if you are careful about clicking on links in email; for example, if Facebook used email to try to get you to do something with your Facebook profile, then you will see that same message waiting for you if you simply type “facebook.com” in your browser, and login to your Facebook profile directly instead of clicking on the link. If that message isn’t waiting for you in your Facebook inbox, then you know you just dodged a Facebook hack that was trying to steal your Facebook login credentials.

Here is an example of the Facebook scam that is going around today - did you get this? (See below for the actual link to which this scam goes.)

Now, here is the link to which the “login” link actually goes:

http://www.facebook.com.ter3awqlee.com.pl/usersdirectory/LoginFacebook.php?ref=6111092558067260582021047884294956650421616663577030203017968976031615658

The target is actually “ter3awqlee.com.pl”, where a fake Facebook login page resides, just waiting to steal your Facebook username and password.

Hopefully you found our page first, and have not clicked on the link and already given them your username and password, but if you have, go to Facebook and change your password now!
