‘Don’t Fall for This ‘Faceboourk’ Phishing Scam’ – ‘Mashable’

Ben Weitzenkorn says, “A very convincing scam that spoofs Facebook verification pages is being used to steal users’ personal details and credit-card information before taking user to the real Facebook, leaving many victims none the wiser that they’ve just given their sensitive details to criminals.The scam, outlined by Australian software architect Troy Hunt on his blog, starts out as a link to a viral video or other Internet meme, perhaps in a friend’s tweet. It’s a shortened link that obscures its real destination, but users will be relieved to land on what looks like the standard Facebook login page”.
