Social Networking website Facebook scam can delete your account. A new phishing scheme is about as nasty as they come The perpetrators threaten to delete users Facebook accounts unless they hand over various account details within 24 hours, While some of you might welcome such a deletion, most of us would not.





Facebook users may get emails, saying that the user is violating the social network policy regulations by annoying or insulting other Facebook users And the email says, unless certain personal and financial information (including credit card numbers) is submitted within 24 hours, the user’s account will be done away with.
Lisa Vaas said, on Sophos Naked Security blog. The scams are in fact, designed to steal credit card numbers and social media accounts, likely in order to further spread scams and bilk victims, As pointed out by Hoax-Slayer scammer can use the ill-gotten information to hijack a user’s Facebook account. Then, posing as the account holder, the criminals can send out more scam messages and spam to a victim Facebook friends, bolstered by the trust users place in their friends,Once a criminal has gained access to a victim’s account, they will likely lock out the original account holder by changing account passwords and email addresses With the credit card information, fraudsters can conduct identity theft and other malicious financial activity.


Hoax-Slayer warns users not to click on any links in the email itself. Those who fall for the ruse and click the link will be first taken to a fake Facebook Account Disabled web form that asks them to provide Facebook login details and part of their credit card number.
