I received an email allegedly from "facebook staff" today saying they had sent me a message - along with the usual login to view your message.
Without thinking twice i clicked the link which too me to a facebook login page. I then noticed it wasn't on the facebook URL so straight away realised it was a phishing site.
I am used to simply ignoring Bank scams but this is the first facebook scam email I've had so was a little off guard. Luckily i didnt enter my details as i spotted the url. I think the first thing that made me double check is my email wasn't in the login box.
So beware people!!!!!! I have forwarded the email to facebook abuse so they can take it up.
Here is the email so you can see how it goes:
