Fraud WarningFake Facebook MessageBeware of your inbox 17:43 11/4/2009 - Earlier today I received an e mail message claiming to be from Facebook. When I clicked the link to see the message, I found myself viewing a very official looking message
Below is a screenshot of that message. If you click the green button to update your account nothing seems to happen, but if you click the link that says click here, my browser opens up completely red page.
The text from that page follows.
For investigative purposes, I ignored the warning, a login page appeared, screenshot below.
I used the e-mail address that was already in the form. As as you will notice, in the upper right-hand corner I use the word idiot for a password. No problem we logged right in, and didn't seem to matter what you use for a username or password.
Below, is the screenshot of what I call the danger zone, you will notice it asks you to make a download to continue with the update of your account. In the days when computers were slower, I would download these viruses and wrap them in a zip file for display on my website, as a warning to others. With today's faster computers, I would not attempt any such thing. You can bet that if you downloaded the file, you would have major problems.
After further investigation I have discovered that this is an attempt to gain your personal information. If you discover this message in your inbox, ignore it! Forewarned is forearmed! I am waiting to hear back through official channels to see if this problem can be corrected. It usually takes quite a while for any official reply to arrive, if ever, I will continue to investigate this problem and update you later. I receive quite a bit of e-mail, I receive many such pranks, this is just one. The FBI almost on a daily basis sends out press releases warning of fraud and identity theft, also the state of Florida sends out similar notices, quite often. Many of these messages are quite official looking as in the case above. There are usually a few signs that will give you a warning, these messages are fake. In this case it was a big red page in my browser. So beware. While we mostly can enjoy the Internet, we still have to be on the lookout for criminals. A lot of damage can happen to the unwary. Identity theft is definitely no fun! It it is a lot better than being shot, I think!
