ruttinbuc Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I just got a message from someone not on my friends list. ALori Ann Sullivan Lori-ann sent a message in reply to a thread. Re: hey "What the heck is that??? Let me know, cuz! It wouldn't allow me on the sight so i have no idea. thanks..." What Thread is the problem. They always identify the sender in the email. I won't open it. Hope they straighten this stuff out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil hunter Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 apps like farmville have nothing to do with it. People send out messages saying they saw you on a hidden camera, etc then you click on a link to go see it. Before you get to the video, a page will come up saying you need to log in to facebook. When you do that, you submit your e-mail and password and walla, you have been hacked. You then become one of the people sending out tons of annoying messages. I got 2 from buckee just today! lol. If it's happened to you, get on facebook and change your password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HCO Team Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I have gotten two of them today as well. The first time it happened to me, my anti-virus blocked the link saying it was a dangerous site. I was very thankful!! From what I am to understand, don't click on the link and if you do, don't type in your password. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did do a virus scan on my system that came up clean ... PHEW !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 That's my cuzzin Mike. She sent me the same message, and I answered her back telling her not to open any messages from me in the last 48 hrs, and just delete them. I've since changed my password there, logged out, and back in using the new password. I keep getting them from you too Ross. I hope mine have stopped. I left out the rest of the message(link) for obvious reasons. ........................... Ross sent you a message. Subject: hey "HHey!

GWSmith Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Here's another Suspicious Facebook Message! On each of the names you can "mouse over" and see they are separate links to each name...but they are grouped together??? Never seen that before on Facebook. It's always been a single account and only one person at a time able to send a message! IMHO This ones Bogus and is getting deleted: Here's what Facebook has to say about security: Edited November 10, 2009 by GWSmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Nope, I made that post in facebook. It has the names of the two people I was addressing, that's all. Edward(Ryan) is my daughter's Boyfriend. There is nothing there to click on that can steal your password or give you a virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
