Heads Up: Facebook Phishing

Consider this a friendly reminder to never click links in emails to "reset your information" unless you requested it.

Facebook has a good phishing email going around with a decently masked email address. No, I did not click on it.

What I think is sad, is that this works. People still actually click on those links!

Oddly enough I logged into my Facebook account and received the identical message. It's a poorly worded message that screams phishing but it seems to be legit, or a quinkydink.
