Speaking of facebook, I just saw a phising scam notice on facebook on techcrunch. Although I'm not an avid user of facebook, I thought people should be careful. Since it leads to a link exactly like facebook you might get tricked! It is scary what these people can do.

The scam involves a notice appearing on the wall of user profiles as a message from a friend, saying “Hey, I got a new facebook account. Im going to delete this one, so add my new profile” then with a link that appears to be a link to the new profile. The actual link goes to a URL on view-facebookprofiles.com, a domain registered (and whois protected) on Namecheap and hosted at Softlayer that looks identical to the Facebook login page:
Users fooled into resubmitting their Facebook details on this page then have their Facebook accounts hijacked and all of their contacts receive a similar message, propagating the phishing scam.
