so i just got an email saying that someone had tried to log into my facebook account from an s21
but the problem is i deleted my facebook account years ago and i was only a member of facebook for litteraly 10minutes as i joined to find someone and as i didnt find them i deleted my account!
so is my account still out there or is this just some dumb phising attempt?
No doubt it gives you a link to ‘log in’ to your ‘facebook account’.
If you’re on a Windows computer, select and RIGHT CLICK the link then select ‘copy link address’.
Paste this in to a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and I’ll bet a pound to a penny that the address isn’t ‘facebook.com’.
Or . . . just delete it. It’s a scam!
it just had 2 buttons
one for it wasnt me and for it was me.
(not exact wording)
and thats what threw me tbh
but yeah best to just delete i think
on emails never click a link unless you know its an authentication email of some sort or you trust the source. always if you want to check whether its spam/fishing or legit email logon direct to your account.
if you want to check whether you have a Facebook account go direct to Facebook and try logon on. if you cannot then you know your answer.
A phishing scam, I bet ! Just delete as soon as possible.
Scam.
Just like those texts or emails claiming to be from Royal Mail or a delivery company saying “your parcel is waiting”…
oh man those parcel ones are annoying.
especially if your expecting a parcel!
