Here is a screen shot of a facebook scam that I have been getting in one of my email accounts. It looks like a real email from facebook, but if you hover over the link it goes to a UK site. I bet this gets a lot of people because people don’t realiz that facebook will never do this. I just wanted to let you know and don’t click on it.

I also get email scams that say they are from a shipping company and that I need to pick up a package. I also get emails from the IRS wanting me update some type of information. They just go into my junk email. It seems like it is increasing a lot.

I have had quite a few of these. It is so funny to see some of the website addresses that they want to direct you too!

I haven’t received this one yet. But it’s really annoying that it happens, cause sooo many people will never be able to tell the difference and they will happily go there and enter their account information.

You guys are both right it is funny to see the address when you hover over the link and it also scary because people will click on it. Greg Ellison
