Email Scam: Fake Facebook Support Email

Here is an email I just got and it is pretending to be an official email from Facebook Support, which one might want to pay attention to. That is what the scammer is counting on. They are hoping that at least some percentage of the people receiving this email are not paying close attention and think it is really from Facebook Support when it is not.

All the links in the email look like they go to Facebook (or they are a linked button or linked word) but the actual destination of the link is: http://maxmax.webnow.biz/transferring.html?fb=katiemoe (DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK!!!!) but notice how they were able to insert a variable at the end of the string which identifies which Facebook account they are trying to attack. This is bad. If I click on this link, they will know who clicked on it, even if I don't provide them any further information. Worse than that, I may get some nasty spyware software downloaded to my computer. So, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THESE LINKS!!!
