The initial message leads to a Facebook Note with further details.<\/p>\n<p>The note demands that you click a link to update your credit card within 24 hours or &#8216;teams will close the page and your facebook account permanently&#8217; and &#8216;your page will stop&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Supposedly, the team &#8216;can not completion of your payment&#8217;, hence the urgent need to update.<\/p>\n<p>However, of course, the message is just an amusingly inept attempt to steal credit card details from unsuspecting Facebook users. The message is certainly not from Facebook. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9162856233\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p> The link opens a fake update form that asks users to provide their credit card and contact details (see screenshot below). After users submit the requested details, another &#8211; rather threatening &#8211; fake message appears that claims that the team is &#8216;responding to recover the account&#8217; but the account will be closed if users have provided false information.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the strange grammar and presentation of the scam very quickly gives the game away. Even less experienced computer users should hopefully see that skulduggery is afoot.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps this scammer is new at the job. If he wants to make a career out of such nefarious activities, he&#8217;ll need to lift his game.<\/p>\n<p>But, while this attempt is quite transparent, there are \u00a0<a title=\"Facebook Account Update Phishing Scam Email\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/facebook-account-update-phishing-scam.shtml\">plenty of others<\/a> \u00a0that are more sophisticated and may well \u00a0<a title=\"PHISHING - 'Security Alert Facebook Disabled' Email\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/facebook-disabled-security-alert-phishing.shtml\">fool less-savvy Facebook users<\/a> \u00a0into divulging their login details and other personal information.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook users need to be wary of any messages that claim that their account will be suspended or deleted if they do not click a link and provide their details.
