Facebook Phishing Scam

Received a message early this morning on Facebook. The sender doesn't even know she sent the message so it's highly possible that her Facebook account had been hacked.  So here's how the message looked like.

If you receive something like this, do not click or on it.  Simply let the sender know you have receive this message from him/her and request that the person change her password.  Coz if you click on it, there might be chances that you will be the one sending the same message to your friends.

It's not difficult to tell that this message is fake.  Firstly, the English.  It sucks!  Facebook will not send you a message with poor English. Secondly, the link. It's an external link.  Thirdly, if this is from Facebook, they would have also announced it rather than just sending you PMs.

Just be careful folks!!
