Wikipedia describes phishing as:
… phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.
What this means is, you may one day end up on a web site that looks exactly like Facebook’s login page. Alaways be sure to look at your web browser’s address bar to ensure you are currently at the domain “facebook.com”, if you see something other than “facebook.com” in your address bar, leave immediately and go directly to www.facebook.com.
If and when you encounter a facebook phishing scam, please report it directly to facebook.
