Phishing on Facebook
July 30, 2008 – 2:36 pm by Griffin Hammond
A member of the “Facebook Phishing Scam Awareness” group on Facebook posted the most recent in a spat of phishing scams on the social network.
Unlike previous scams, which have been posted on Facebook users’ walls, this user received an e-mail from a scam artist which attempted to send her to “facebooks.net,” a decoy website.
Phishing scams are designed to steal your username and password, so never enter sensitive data unless you know you’re on the real “Facebook.com.”
