TeaTotaler Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 "insert name" has tagged you on a post or "......" has tagged a photo of you on FB. None of the names are familiar. I just delete these emails but it is getting to be an annoyance. Any ideas why this has suddenly started to occur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I would expect that it has nothing to do with the real Facebook and everything to do with scammers trying to get you to click on something. If they send that email out to everybody, it's a decent bet that some of the people they send it to will have FB accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was creepy at first, but when I realized the scammers were 'shooting in the dark', I relaxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelC Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Either you have provided your email address to a website that is dodgy, or you have provided your email address to a legit website but it's been hacked, or else a virus/bot/hacker has attacked somebody else who has your email address on their contact list. It's usually nothing to do Facebook, Paypal or whatever - they just copy those companies' logos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
