As social networks grow, so too grow attempts to rip off their users. Today, another phishing scam is underway on Facebook (
) with a slightly different twist on yesterday’s outbreak.
If you receive an email with the subject line “Look at this!” and a link to fbstarter.com, do not open it. It’s a phishing scam of the same variety as that we saw on Wednesday, which linked to a site called FBAction.net. Both of these sites attempt to steal your login information, and then send the message that you see below to all of your friends.
Our advice remains the same as yesterday: As always, don’t enter your Facebook password if the URL is not Facebook.com, and contact Facebook if you’re no longer able to access your account.
Of course, this gets a bit trickier as more and more legitimate websites implement Facebook Connect, though we’re yet to see any scams that look to exploit this.
