Email scam Re: Facebook Accounts

[CallMeKate]

I just got an email saying my Facebook account has had a large number of logins from a place in India. Even named the town there. There's a button to press if it wasn't you logging in. Of course I wouldn't have pressed it anyhow, but I can see how it would frighten people. It didn't even come to the email box that my FB is connected to.

But anyhow, a heads up about it. They even used the FB logo, etc. Not sure what happens if someone presses it, but I suspect hacking of some kind is involved.

I am experiencing intermittent problems trying to get to Facebook.

Has it let you back in yet? Mine's okay at this time but I didn't have the same problem. I do know that Amazon was acting strangely this morning and there were a bunch of "down" reports on it, but it resolved.

It's acting slowly. The internet reports problems. It's not a good day for Facebook. Worldwide according to the internet.

I had a message come up on my phone saying someone tried to use my account but has been blocked, and to change
my password. I rang my son who said it could be a scam and ignore it.

Wonder why mine's okay. I guess because I just peek in couple of times a day to check on local stuff and family posts and don't really use it heavily. I probably wouldn't notice slowness.

Mine has been acting okay now but I was afraid to say that out loud earlier and scare up all the demons that plague it.

Facebook to me is a minefield of conflicting needs and wants. You want to contact your friends and yet every key stroke you make is a conflict with those who watch you and want only to exploit you. Change your password they say. Yet the bogus still keeps coming in. Who is real, who is not. There is no pleasure in it. Just stress.
