The only protection I know for this is take a good look at the URL it
sends you to. If it goes to somewhere other than facebook.com, spelled
correctly, be aware!

real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I
am working on things that matter.

Hi Don,
I know it is face book because it has Face book written on it and all the
correct information written on the bottom of the email.
and when you follow the link it takes you directly to my Face book acccount.
and I also did an ASA scan and also a scan with my anti virus program and they
both found nothing.
could it still be an impostor you think?
thanks in advance anna

How do you know it is Facebook? It could be an impostor phishing for
Facebook passwords! Be careful of clicking on links in emails that
require you to enter a password or personal data.

Hi all,
I know I posted thhis before but I still do not know why Face book sent me an
email saying that some one wanted to be friends with me and I followed the
link they provided and it took me to the request page but their was no friend
request.
I might add that the email had The letters Rs and then a link but it did not
have the persons name on it but it did say that this person who ever it is
wanted to be friends and it had the confirm button that I clicked on but when
it got to the request page there was no friend request their.
and the email also said that this person has thirty nine friends.
does anyone know why Face book would send this message and their is no friend
request? or do you know how I might find this friend request if there is
one?
thanks in advance anna
