Scam Type: Phishing

Trending: June 2011

Why it’s a Scam:

Clicking on any of the phishing links will take you a page designed to look like the Facebook login page. The url is fuizuebooks[dot]com/update/index6.php (there are probably others).:

Never enter you login information when a web page redirects you without first double checking to make sure you are on the legitimate site. A better option is to bookmark the authentic page(s), and access the site directly.

On a side note, the same outfit behind this scam are running another Facebook phishing scam with the following wall post:
