Description

The scammer sent an email using my personal email address with the below note. Please know my facebook account was hacked about a year ago and whoever hacked my account continues to use my hotmail email account to send the below message. I currently use a different email for facebook; however, I still get the screenshot email to my hotmail account indicating someone logged into my facebook. What is not captured is that it asks you to click whether it's you or to "report user". I googled scams and learned this is not truly facebook and is a phishing attempt. Although I've blocked this email, it keeps showing up in my email. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Facebook Sent: Monday, February 13, 2023 6:20 PM To: **************.com <**************.com> Subject: Someone tried to Iog in To Your Account, User lD : ****** Hi ******, Someone tried to log in to your account!
