Phishing scam

Got 2 messages from FB from "Friends" but with whom I have almost no contact, either in FB or IRL. Same message in each. Something like, 'hey, I think I saw you in this video.'


Deleted the messages right away.


Looked it up. Definitely phishing. https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2020/12/18/is-it-you-in-the-video-dont-fall-for-this-messenger-scam/


Just thought you should know.

If you had clicked on the link, then they have a pathway to steal your information.

In the future, you are probably OK if you change your password immediately.

Thanks for the heads-up!
