New Scam Inbox Message

Share:

If you get a inbox message from Facebook Security, don't believe it. Your account will not be permanently suspended if you ignore and delete this message.
Lets take a closer look. Here is the page where this message originated from. It's just a profile page and if you look closely at the word "Security" you will see the "i" and the "t" are not from the English Alphabet. I reported this page and you should too. I wonder how they were able to get this name on a profile as Facebook usually screens and prevents fake names?
Here is what the real Facebook Security Page looks like.

    Unfortunately I was too busy at work and clicked on the link following the instruction. I gave all my information and they took about 143USD and 172USD. The money was used on Zynga poker. The money was returned back to me :-)

    To avoid this issues, better close your message from others who's not in your fb friends

    Don't use the "Report/Contact this App" link! Click on "AdmIn Security" at the lower left corner and choose "Report App" on the "AdmIn Security" App page.

    I wonder how they were able to get this name:

    The name is not detectable by facebook because the "K" on "facebook" is not in the English alphabet and, who knows, maybe the "O"s are not really Os either

    Missing words are in that message as well. But then, why would anyone click on a link in a message? Ever??? -Lonnie

    the basic grammar mistakes in most hoaxes/scams are also a give away. I don't hold FB or zynga in particularly high regard as far as most things go, but a command of the English language is something they get right.

    Here's a suggestion...don't play poker on FB, since it seems to be coming from there.
