Facebook Email Fraud

In the past few weeks I have been receiving and I am sure a lot of you have too, a number of emails appearing to be from Facebook. They are not...

The first is a very formal email that looks like it may have come from facebook but it doesn't. It's a phishing email where they try to get information from you to either hack into your account, steal your identity or hack your computer. We are not sure what this email was attempting to do because the site was already down by the time we started researching.

The second email I have been getting is a text email with the subject line of "Facebook Password Reset Confirmation. help Centre." The first clue should be the way they spelled "Center" but unless you have requested a change in password Facebook would never simply reset your password. This email contains a virus, Malware.

So if you receive either of these emails simply delete them. Don't open any attachment or click any of the links within the email. You may find yourself so busy trying to clean up the mess you won't have time for Farm Town.

Trillian from Cerulean Studios

This has been one of the best solutions to stay connected that I've seen. Instant messaging is a great way to communicate and let you know who is at their desk in a remote situation. With Trillian it doesn't matter what instant messenger your customers or associates use because it supports all of them at the same time. I can be logged into Yahoo, MSN, AOL and ICQ all at the same time and my list of contacts appears in one list making it easier to manage. With Trillian Pro, I can keep a history of conversations and go back and review them at anytime. It also supports video and audio messaging. Trillian Basic is FREE and Trillian Pro is only $25.

This is HOT! Trillian 4.0 (Astra) incorporates Facebook and Twitter and soon there will be a version for your iPhone and iPod Touch.
