Alert: New Facebook Phishing Scam. Be aware. [Updated]

*Update*
A commenter has notified us of the same phishing scam on a different URL – FBStarter.com. Double check your URL’s whenever logging in to Facebook.

A phishing scam is reportedly spreading fast through Facebook, requesting users to login via a phony URL FBAction.net.

Once you attempt to login, a few moments later your password is changed and all your friends are emailed. A reader of AllFacebook.com apparently entered the details accidentally and has not been able to access his account since.

Whilst it’s not likely to trick geeks into handing over their passwords, the average user is unlikely to spot the URL difference, and with 200 million users, you can see why Facebook is such a target.
