A new phishing scam going around sends you email claiming that you have deactivated your Facebook account. Don’t fall for it. The links in it don’t really go to Facebook at all, although they look as though they do.
The scam email, which started showing up today in users’ inboxes, reads as follows:
Subject: You have deactivated your Facebook account
Hi,
You have deactivated your Facebook account. You can reactivate your account at any time by logging into Facebook using your old login email and password. You will be able to use the site like you used to.
Thanks,
The Facebook Team

Even though the links look like real Facebook links, they actually go to “http://kilinclar.nl/discussions.html”, “http://madmu.50webs.com/subsequent.html”, and “http://alphabasicz.com/midsection.html” – all designed to sucker punch you and your computer.
