1 edit | [Phish] New Phishing Scam On Faceboo?!! hello
this is my first post and i wanted to give a heads up for you from a new and smart scam that i believe is made to steal facebook pages and accounts.
today i got this message on my page that has almost 900,000 members
the message:
quote:

and here is a picture of the message :

now the reason that makes me think its smart is how the hell did they send it directly to my page , also there is no profile linked to the guy who sent the message because it takes me to the home page.
and how i know its fake?
first it dosnt sound legit
second why would facebook use apps to "verify" my page
and last and most important that the link take me to a page that asks me to write my page name , my phone number or email and of course my password and when i enter random password it accepts it !!!!!
i know facebook will never ask for my password this way
also they spelled "Community" wrong 
so what do you think? anyone had or heard the same ?? | | |

Best is to submit to our phishtracker, though I think you have to sign up as a dslreports member before you can do that.
Your image shows a facebook link. The first thing to check, is whether that is a link to facebook, or to somewhere else. For phish, it is typically to somewhere else. Depending on your mail client, holding the mouse over the link might show where it is on a status display somewhere.
In any case, if unsure, the thing to do is to sign into your facebook account in the normal way. DO NOT use the link in the email. Use whatever is in your bookmarks. If you can sign in normally, and if there is no alert message when you sign in, then the chances are that there is nothing wrong with your facebook account so the email is likely bogus.

| Re: [Phish] New Phishing Scam On Facebook?!! well as i said the link takes me to a facebook app that has no icon and nothing works on that page except the submit button and the name and password fields (typical phish page), i noticed also that before two days there was a "i forgot my password" link that when you click on it takes to a 404 page, this link is now gone.
the guy did a good job making there message appear real (except for some misspellings at the end) but his phish page is too obvious but even though i think many people can fall for this trick | |
