SPAM ALERT: bogus facebook login thing


Just received this spam - it looks like facebook is asking you to redo your login.


However, when you mouseover the link "Click here", it will take you to

Notice the domain - yeah, it starts with facebook.com, but ENDS with a .eu TLD (European Union), and teh server name is hqasqweh. So if I click on this link, not only with the spammers have what they know is a legit email address (because I replied to it), they will also have my facebook login info, and can thus do all sorts of nefarious things with it.

That's whty I recommend having the staus bar visible in your browser windos, and mouseover a link to see what the REAL destination is before you click it.
