Facebook Email Scam Alert

by Mansoor Ahmed on March 19, 2010

Another warning posed for Facebook users that hackers are targeting Facebook users via circulating email online trying to snatch passwords of Facebook users. Earlier this week we told you guys about the new virus on Facebook.

McAfee said on Wednesday after noticing that the email scam has become one of the most active currently online threat to users. The emails suggest the user’s Facebook password has been reset and includes a link to change it. When any user like me and you clicks on that link, as a result a program is downloaded, allowing hackers to get user’s Facebook password.

McAfee says it is the sixth most spread scam circulated in the last day. The emails which are sent to users are written with poor grammar and awkward phrasing. This threat is dangerous if we consider that there are more than 350 million Facebook users who could fall for this scam.

The subject line of the scam email is like this:

Facebook Password Reset Confirmation! Customer Support.

Be ware of this scam! Please don’t fall for this scam.
