I then reached my initial facebook log in page. Problem is I do not know for sure if this was my initial log in page or the one that pops up after clicking on the link as you mentioned. I am hoping for the best that this was my initial log in page. (as i did click on the back button of my internet browser). I then entered my credentials on this page after some time and logged into facebook again. I just changed my password after googling and reading your site (which is roughly 12 hrs after clicking on the link). i am hoping all is ok now...does anyone know if i am safe? or do i need to get rid of my facebook account now?

I got the link sent to me by my cousin last night, and as I don’t speak to her often I thought her mail was a bit brief. Luckily just after I typed in my username I started wondering why a site that has nothing to do with Facebook would need my account details. First time I have been exposed to this kind of bulldust – what has the world come to, seriously? And as for what people can do with your account details, cos I didn't think it could do much harm : http://www.consumerwarningnetwork.com/2009/02/05/facebook-id-theft-new-phishing-scam/ Damn sneaky – what a crap thing to do!

I get notification of messages sent through to my e-mail address from Facebook so always just click on link in the e-mail to take me through to facebook, log in, see message. Done that with this message. Is it the notification link that's dodgy (i.e. not taking me from my e-mail to facebook) or is it actually clicking on the link once I get into Facebook that'll do me? Cheers anyway. Cheers for that.
