Scam Signature Message: Times are changing
I know this is going to effect me, hopefully not you to.
Scam Type: Phishing
Trending: June 2011
Why it's a Scam:
Clicking on any of the phishing links will take you a page designed to look like the Facebook login page. The url is fuizuebooks[dot]com/update/index6.php (there are probably others).:
Never enter you login information when a web page redirects you without first double checking to make sure you are on the legitimate site. A better option is to bookmark the authentic page(s), and access the site directly.
On a side note, the same outfit behind this scam are running another Facebook phishing scam with the following wall post:
Looks like fun :P Hi Philip, what are you doing in this video? Are you trying to dance or what?? Lol
Poor Philip got a double whammy on his Facebook Wall by a friend who had their account hacked. Let's hope he is aware of these scams and not a Happy Clicker!
How to Deal with the Scam:
If you entered your Facebook login credentials on the page shown above, then you need to try to reclaim your account. Check out the following article for additional steps you should take:
