I just remembered that I got an "password reset" email from facebook like a month ago?
I didn't log in to my FB account since 2008 or so.
For a minute I was baffled and thought someone might be trying to hack my defunct profile (but why?) and my instinctive reaction was to log in and reset the password but gave up and forgot about it.
But now that people keep mentioning shady "come back, come back, to Mordor we'll take you" tactics, this sure smells fishy.
Anyone else got an unsolicited PW reset email after not using FB for a long time?
- bprasanna 9y agoYes, this follows the same strategy. All they want is to lure the user back. Either message will say reset password, or trouble logging in.
