Facebook Password Email is a Scam
December 11, 2014
facebook email scam

If you received an email that appears to come from Facebook, do not click the link inside.

We are unsure what type of malware the link contains, but in the past, similar malicious emails have had password-stealing programs.

There are hints that this is a scam:

1. The “From”

Though the email says it is from Facebook, when you look at the actual address, you can see otherwise.

 

2. The Link

When you hover over the link with your mouse, you will see what the actual web address is. The address has nothing to do with Facebook- letting us know this is a scam.

If you are ever prompted to change your password, you should go to the prospective website directly.
