Scam phishing messages about Facebook in your email

[steve2470]

Just an fyi to all: I've gotten TWO fake (phishing) emails about my Facebook login today. Needless to say, DO NOT click on them and report them as phishing if you can. If you can't do that, at least delete them.

1. One of the advantages of multiple email boxes.

There are certain boxes I use for very specific purposes. If I get an ostemsible email from somewhere claiming I need to verify/whatever and it comes to a box not listed as the one for that, I know it's a phony.
The dead giveaway is always the "Dear valued customer" or variation thereof. Any legit email from someone you are signed up with knows your real name-whether it's a bank, credit card company, FB or anyone else.
