Facebook Phishing – You Are Full of Crap

This email was sent to a client of mine this week, it looks like an official Facebook email and implies that someone has made a comment “you are full of crap” on their wall.
Yet if you click on either the ‘See this comment thread’ link or ‘Unsubscribe’ link in the message it does not go to Facebook but to a phishing/virus site.

I suggest that whenever you click on any link that is sent to you in an email that you ensure it is genuine – most email programs allow you to hover over a link and see the destination and this is a good habit to get in to in order to protect yourself.

Have you seen this email, or similar?
