Facebook Administration has sent you a notification FAKE

Just got an email from Facebook Administration. Looked real, but I got this awhile back. As a daring person who troubleshoots malware and virus attacks everyday, I clicked on it out of curiosity and of course got sent to a weird banking site. I closed it immediately and ran a full scan of our malware detetion program.

Yep fake-no malware though on my computer for just clicking on it. Not sure how bad it could have got though if I had gone to the banking site and did stuff, I just closed the window quick.

What can you do when you get these emails? How can you tell when they are fake or not? You really can’t by just seeing it. It looks just like every other Facebook email notification I get about events, messages, etc. It’s pretty sad though that Facebook is getting hacked, has my email address, is sending me fake emails and Facebook doesn’t give a shit. Pretty sad, and I’m tired of it. Soon here I will be leaving Facebook for G+ due to issues just like this.

Here is a picture of it for you all to see…
