secular_mom Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I was going through my SPAM folder, and there are two Facebook messages- (1) says I have 3 unread messages (2) says I have 2 or more unread messages. I deleted my account, so I wasn't expecting to get any more Facebook notifications- I do NOT want to open these messages, but I'm wondering if they 'could' be legit so I thought I'd ask here. When I hover over the sender it shows notification+nskwlbmzrfgw@facebook.com as the e-mail address that sent the notification. Does that look normal, or Spammy?

Carrie12345 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I just checked my gmail messages. Mine say "So and So has sent you a message" in the subject line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindyz Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I have received fake spam facebook and twitter notifications. I don't click on the emails and go to the page instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Oh, and the address used is noreply at facebookmail dot com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in AL Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm not much help, but I received some e-mails saying the same thing. The kicker is that I have never had a FB account. If you deleted your FB and wanted nothing more to do with FB, then I would just delete those e-mails, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyboys Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 We received an email request for money from a woman in one of our local yahoo groups .... apparently her facebook account had been hacked that led to her yahoo group and sent emails out saying that she was on vacation overseas and needed money, with info where to send money. Of course the woman was mortified that this had gone out to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 It is spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah C. Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Anything that says "facebookmail dot com" is spam, as far as I know. I recently got a similar spam notification, saying my account was inactive. Thankfully my GMail flagged it. I looked at the sender and it wasn't the actual address. If you're in doubt, don't open the email and just go check your Facebook. Anything you get a genuine email about will be on there and you'll know it's real!
