And I was just wondered why and when I did request for resetting the facebook password. I never did that as far as I remember. And I just tried to login with my existign password and I was able to login. Thank god. This is again an SPAM. The spammers are with new route now. Facebook users are not almost awere of fake links to be clicked in the Facebook itself and they have now tried a new way by sending the links to their email address. As you can see above in the body part, they have asked to click on a link which MUST be a fake link or it MUST do an andesirable thing. I am not sure what exactly it does because I haven’t clicked it yet. But as far as I know the link does not even exists so I don’t think that it will do anything dangerous but to be safe it is good not to click on the links.
Seeing the email’s header part, we can say that it is the fake one:
