Beware of Hackers and Spammers Who Use Facebook

This post will just serve as warning to all Facebook users. Last March 23, 2010, I received an email which says that I need to reset my password in Facebook. I really don't believed in these kind of mails because I am already aware that these kind of mails are from hackers and spammers who just want to get your personal information and at the same time uses it for fraudulent transactions. The worst thing is when you lose something if you entertain these kind of mails. I made a screen shot of it below and also the exact words which are written in the message.

I am just giving you a warning on this. Never ever entertain this kind of mail. Immediately put it in your spam folder and delete it. Also, never give your personal information to anyone you don't know like your real name, address, birthday, country, employer, job and any personal information that these hackers or spammers will use for their own vested interest.

This post serves only as warning to all Facebook users especially to all my friends. More example of scam or fraud mails like these will come soon. Please also try to browse the categories in my sidebar for more ideas about Spam and Scam mails that are proliferating right now in the internet. Don't be confused with this because this is not really coming from the official Facebook site. The hackers and spammers are only using Facebook as a medium to fool people and get their personal information.

Below is the screen shot of this mail and I also wrote the words separately. Feel free to click the screen shot for a bigger view.
