Be very aware of this guys. There are some people that will try to still your account by mimicking a facebook log-in page. This scam do not only target facebook account, but almost all sites specially if that sites involve money. They will try to create a site or a blog that will look like exactly the sites that you are logging in. So if you are not that aware you will immediately log-in to this site that looks like your favorite site. But it is not the site that wish to log-in. It is a dummy site that will only get your username and password and email it to the email account of the thief. I suggest you check the address box from time to time, especially before you log-in. Dummy sites will have a different web address. And if you think you're a victim of this, log-in immediately to the correct site and change your password.. Good Luck

I know what you're talking about. There was a time when I accidentally logged in on those dummy sites for my friendster account. 3 days later, my account got hacked :( Good thing the hacker didn't do anything much on my profile aside from changing my primary pic and album covers. Thanks for your warning, at least some people here in mylot will have an idea regarding the site. ^^

Just don't put to much information on your facebook account and always put it into private.

Yes there are lots of people in this world that are like that, they enjoyed doing things that are prohibited or they want to make in an ethical way. What they are doing is that they want to get in personal information for their personal benefits , they are making money through your personal data.
