According to a report by the express.co.uk, Trustwave’s experts have pointed out a fraud mail that claims to be sent from Facebook Support team.
The fraud mail states that the Facebook user’s account is at the risk of being deleted and directs the user to click on a link.
This link is being used by fraudsters to gather all details of your Facebook account.

The report by Trustwave mentions that a spam message is labelled ‘new message from Facebook”. The email within states, “Your page has been scheduled for deletion after violating our Community Standards. If we don’t hear from you within 48 hours, the page in question will be automatically deleted. You can appeal this decision below by visiting your support inbox”.
To fool the user, the fraud email includes an ‘Appeal Now’ button which Outlook, Gmail, Hotmail and other mail users can click. Right after you click the link, you will be directed to a fake Facebook appeals page. Here, you will be allowed to chat regarding the problem. The chat bot will be asking you to share your details including, name, email address, mobile numbers by claiming it to be a part of the appeal process.
In order to make the process appear more convincing, you might be asked to provide two-factor authentication details.
It is important to note that this mail is fake, and it has been sent to you only for collecting your details. The scammers might lock you out of your Facebook account and use it as a gateway to a host of other things. Hence, it is advisable not to share any details.
As per media reports, the fake Facebook pages linked with the scamming website have been taken down, but Trustwave has warned all users to remain vigilant.
“Chatbots serve a huge purpose in digital marketing and live support, so it is no wonder that cyber attackers are now abusing this feature. People are not inclined to be suspicious of its contents, especially if it comes from a seemingly genuine source. The fact that the spammers are leveraging the platform that they are mimicking makes this campaign a perfect social engineering technique”, Trustwave said.A few relationships happily stand the test of time. So, if your relationship is drifting, you're not alone.
Usually, they start out perfectly, but somewhere along the way, the lovers start to drift away and fall apart even before either of them realizes what's happening.A few relationships happily stand the test of time. So, if your relationship is drifting, you're not alone.

Have you ever been in a relationship where you love your partner, but surprisingly, don't see a future with them?
Several lovers experience the same feeling, where they love their partner but can't imagine getting married to them or living through the rest of their life with them. Experiencing this kind of relationship can be really stressful, because you may want to break up, but have no idea why you want to do that in the first place!
Non-communicationCommunication is by far the single biggest aspect that holds lovers together or tears them apart. Do you still talk to your lover the same way you once did at the start of the relationship? And do you know how to work through your disagreements in a healthy, effective manner?
People change with time, and you may assume you know everything about your lover, but chances are, they've changed and they're not the same person you once met several years ago.
When you start to take communication for granted in a relationship, it's only a matter of time before the inevitable drift takes control of the relationship.
You spend a lot of time at work. But somewhere along the way, have you started getting really close to a colleague or an old friend of yours of the opposite sex? Sometimes, you may never even realize it, but you may be confiding more to a friend than your own spouse or lover.
It may not seem like much now, but there's a thin between friendship and emotional affairs. And if you're in an emotional affair, you're setting your relationship up for doom. And that could be one of the biggest reasons your relationship is drifting.# Initiative
In a successful relationship, both partners have to take an active interest in pleasing each other and making the other person happy. When you don't take initiative in love, both of you may start to take each other for granted, and the relationship would start to stagnate.
Go out on vacations, plan crazy dates, tease each other and have fun. And most importantly, try to create memories every day. It's the easiest way to take the initiative and show just how much you care.# Life directions
As time goes by, both of you may pursue different interests in life. One of you may want something, while the other lover may want something completely different. For a while, the relationship may still seem happy and perfect.
If you believe your relationship is perfect, even if both of you don't go out or do anything new, while your partner believes they're stuck in a suffocating rut, these are differences that can make both of you drift away to the point of no return.
Confrontations
Do you avoid confrontations? Many lovers avoid all kinds of confrontations all the time. They just put up with anything their partner says and sulk about it behind their partner's back.
If you're tired of fighting it or discussing anything sensitive with your partner, you're probably tired of the relationship or have given up on its success already.
Sexual intimacySex is a very important part of romance and love. If you're not having enough sex, or not trying hard enough to keep the sexual excitement on a high, you'd find yourself bored with your relationship in no time.
You may think you're content with the lack of sexual intimacy, but in reality, that's because both of you are turning into siblings instead of a romantic couple!
Emotional intimacy
Do you still connect with your partner emotionally? Is your partner the first person you want to share your good news with? Do you feel happy just talking to your lover or telling them about your day?
These are little things that don't seem like much, but they play a big part in holding a relationship together and preventing a relationship from drifting. The lack of emotional intimacy in romance will force one or both of you into an emotional affair or at times, a sexual affair too.
Lack of time for each other
We work really hard these days. And at times, we don't have more than an hour or two to spend with our lover, what with work and all the hanging out with friends. At first, both of you may miss each other.
But as the months pass by, both of you will learn to live without each other. And before either of you know it, both of you as individuals would be completely capable of leading your own lives without having the other person in it.
And once neither of you has the need for the other person, it's inevitable that both of you will drift away from each other.
Buildup of resentments
Do you ever feel like your partner's not good enough for you? Disappointments that aren't discussed always lead to resentments, and over time, these resentments accumulate and convince you that you're unhappy in the relationship.
These resentments may be small and at times, even too silly to ever mention out loud, but they'd gnaw at you from the inside, and however hard your partner tries, you'd always feel like you're stuck in a meaningless relationship when you could be so much happier with someone else.
