Beware the Social Media Email Password Scams

Recently, there's been a rash of fake malicious Facebook and Google Emails

You want to be aware of fake “phishing” emails that appear to come from Facebook and other social networks. These include malicious attachments (password reset files) or links to phony spoofed facebook.com.xxx.xxx websites that will steal your login information and prompt you to install additional fake malicious software.

The last few waves of these emails mention "new login system", "Facebook Account Update", and “Facebook Password Reset". We've also seen the Google Mail and PayPal email password phishing scams.

Hopefully your AntiSPAM filter is blocking most of these kinds of emails, but some may get through or as a busines owner, some of your employees may still be clicking on these emails even after they have been flagged as SPAM/[JUNK]/[LIKELY JUNK] etc. As a parent, some of your teens probably are on Facebook and other networks and may be unaware.

Facebook, Google and PayPal will not solicit you to update account information or install updates. When you encounter unsolicited emails, always “think before you click” or simply delete them.

Until next time . . . Happy Marketing!
