    Who would fall for this? Just reading it is giving me a headache.

    I was waiting for the African prince angle at some stage. It certainly reads like one of them.

    It's just a way to get you to click a link and probably give some credit card or personal info the scammer can sell.

    Unfortunately someone will fall for it :(

    Exactly, it's a phishing site. Will look like Facebook but the URL will be completely different.

    There must be a report function on FaceBook to bring down this evil genius?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL
