Fake Facebook Security Team phishes passwords from users !!!

[INDRANIL]

Hurray another fresh Facebook event . A number of Facebook users have reported to us receiving mysterious messages, seemingly from Facebook's security team, telling them that their accounts have been suspended.The spam messages, however, are not legitimate.In reality they have been sent out by fraudsters posing as Facebook's real security team, with the intention of phishing credentials from unsuspecting users.

Part of the message reads:

We have reviewed the suspension on your account. After reviewing your account activity, it was determined that you were in violation of our Terms of Service. We have provided a warning to you via email, but you do not respond to our notification. Therefore, your account is permanently suspended, and will not be reactivated for any reason.

If you think this is a mistake, please verify your account on the link below. This would indicate that your account does not have a violation in playing on our application. We will immediately review your account activity, and we will notify you again via email.

Note : If within 12 hours, you have not verified your account on our link, then you have ignored our notifications. Therefore, your account is permanently suspended, and will not be reactivated for any reason.

Guys be careful before clicking any link. Otherwise boom... Have fun .

Thanks for the heads up Indra! Just curious, but wouldn't the fact that a person was able to log onto FB set off any alarm bells? If you were suspended, then that shouldn't be possible, should it? Just a thought.
