Facebook Phishing Scam Update

In addition to fbstarter(dot)com watch out for fbaction(dot)com both are phishing attacks.

There are a couple things to watch for:

1) Strange nondescript messages, ask yourself could this apply to everyone?

2) Do you often communicate with this person? In this case, I don’t believe I’ve ever sent a facebook message to this person.

3) Are you familar with the link? I’ve certainly never heard of this website.

If anything sets your spider sense a tingling contact the sender. No need to make accusations, if it is a scam they probably don’t know about it. Simply ask if they sent the message, if so great. If not you’ve saved your self a lot of hassle & pain.

Let me start with saying this is a personal blog. That said, I'm an admitted news junkie. If it has anything to do with Ads, Marketing, Politics, Causes or Cars I'm interested. When I find something interesting that might be worth a glance, I'll tweet it and link it.
