I read this elsewhere and you should be forewarned, especially if you have a Facebook account.
Another email scam is circulating online trying to ensnare unsuspecting Facebook users into divulging all their passwords.
Security software maker McAfee sent out a consumer warning Wednesday night after noticing that the email scam had become one of the most active currently online.
The emails suggest the user’s Facebook password has been reset and includes a link to change it.
But clicking on that link downloads a program that allows hackers to learn your Facebook password and any other passwords you use online.
McAfee says it’s the sixth most-prevalent scam that’s circulated in the last day or so.The emails are typically written with poor grammar and awkward phrasing, such as “Dear user of facebook.”

Reuters too made it known that “hackers have flooded the Internet with virus-tainted spam that targets Facebook’s estimated 400 million users in an effort to steal banking passwords and gather other sensitive information” at their article,

I haven’t received such kind of email yet. This warning is a great help! I’ll pass this along to my friends and fellow “Facebookers”.
Many thanks Lainy!

Hi Lainy!
I’m glad I didn’t encounter this one. Facebook continues to be a target for hackers on the internet.
I read about one from a friend of mine on there from Boston that said one is going around asking where you were born since it is one of the security questions on there.
I guess this is all the more reason I don’t frequent FB like I once did. I hope people get the message about this one!
