David Price? To Facebook

show details Sept 20 (2 days ago)

To Whom it may concern, How do I know if your not the scammer. First of all I don't use Facebook as I don't like it.

But that's another issue. So if anyone wants to hack my account theirs only one person that they can get from my

Facebook and that is my sister who I speak to at least once a day and sometimes twice. So they can't lie to her.

So I wish them good luck and as you are concerned you can keep my so called account locked.

Hi David,
We have locked your account for security purposes. Our systems indicate that your Facebook account may have been compromised by cybercriminals attempting to impersonate you. These criminals often will try to trick your friends into sending them money by claiming that you are stuck in a far away location and need assistance. It is likely that your email account was compromised as well. As such, we have sent this email to all email addresses recently associated with your account. Obtaining access to a victim's email is one of the primary ways these cybercriminals have been operating. Please take the following steps to regain control of your account:

Reset Your Email Passwords: Select new and unique passwords for all of your email addresses. Do not use the same password for different online accounts as this allows hackers to easily gain access to your other accounts, such as Facebook, once one account has been compromised.
Disable Email Forwarding (if enabled): Check the Preferences/Settings of your email account to make sure the scammer did not add any unauthorized forwarding rules to your email. This is becoming a common practice for scammers to use, so it is important that you complete this extra step. If you need further assistance with this please contact your email provider.
After you have performed the above actions, click on the link (labeled 'Proceed to Account Recovery') at the bottom of this email to recover your account. You will be prompted to prove your identity in order to regain access.

It is very important to complete the above steps in order to protect yourself and your friends. Please pay close attention to suspicious activity on your email account. Another individual may be reading and responding to your messages.
