They are posting events saying go to this site, it directs you to facebook, which is not the real facebook and wants you to log in. They have partners there saying, Thanks for the items, and thanks for the retros. They are working together to hack people. Please be aware.

Those are called Phising links, most of us know now not to click. Thanks for the reminder though!

This isn't really a new hack. It's been around for a while but may have only got popular now.
Hope none of us fall for it.

Yes, I wish they'd get those in-game moderators beefed up and working to nip this in the bud. don't click or type in those URLs. They are targeting many online games and social media sites and you could lose all your stuff and have your other data compromised. So be just as suspicious from chats, texts, emails, etc

This is why in-game moderators are a must.

I click to report phishing or paypal seller events but I think they just keep making more accounts and keep trying. It is like the Spam Mail Bombers. If they flood the information out there enough some sucker is bound to take the bait. Even when they get banned they make a new FB and keep trying.
