possible phishing email pretending to be from Facebook

hrafndot

I received an email tonight which appeared to be from someone at Facebook stating that members could send pictures direct to their facebook account. I say that it "appeared" to be from Facebook, but it could have come from anyone. Hi (it knew my christian name),

" Now you can upload photos or videos straight to your profile via email. Simply send an email with a photo/video attachment to:

[EMAIL="shaley819slangy@m.facebook.com"][/EMAIL]

Thanks,

The Facebook Team"

It did not have a corporate look to it but I bet a number will fall for this.

What do people think?

It's probably not a scam, as the m.facebook suffix is for mobile facebook.

Google m.facebook and log into your account, choose upload photos and it will give you your personal publishing address (which is the address you just gave here so I would delete it as it's unique to you and people can upload anything to your facebook with it).

My personal publishing address is the same format, although a different prefix, and it has nothingto do with my user name and seems ot be randomly generated.

Hope this helps :-)
