Ron's Rants…

Focusing on disability benefits, and sharing my experiences of COPD, heart failure/aortic valve calcification & stenosis, ME/CFS (27 years), and general disability/mobility issues, in the hope they will help others, along with books, cooking, and anything else that piques my interest…

New Facebook scam…

March 9, 2009 by Ron

The following appeared in my spam filter today, apparently from confirm@facebookmail.com. If you get one, bin it – do NOT get involved with it in any way. As you can see at the end, the Rapidshare link actually goes to somewhere entirely different (which seems not to exist, according to Google). I have, by the way, checked my Facebook account – there’s nothing there about this.

Rapidshare, as you’ll see if you search Facebook, is all over the place – my advice would be to stay away. Having loads of Facebook pages doesn’t automatically make them legit.
