Real or someone horning in on my e-mail ?

Link is edited

Invalid Link

The confirmation link you clicked is invalid or incomplete. Try copying and pasting the full link into your web browser's address bar.

^ I purposely edited the link, so no one could click on it.

I am not 'Amna', nor did I try to sign up for Facebook.

Now I'm getting a Welcome to Facebook message, without even having clicked on the link !

I don't see any way to Cancel this crap ....

This message was sent to [edited] at your request.

Facebook, Inc., Attention: Department 415, PO Box 10005, Palo Alto, CA 94303

I'm just moving these messages to Spam, and hope that I'll see no more Facebook rubbish.

A few months back, I got a similar email. After a bit of Googling, I couldn't find anything official from Facebook confirming that it could've been real, so I just ignored the message and made sure not to click any links.

Hey, Hum, that link still "worked" since it email portion was visible when I mouse-over the hyperlink.

Based on the latest hacking of Yahoo! accounts, somebody probably just DID register and activate a FB account with your credentials.

Your best bet:

1. Change your Y! Mail password,

2. Go to FB, click the Password Reminder (or Lost Password) function

3. Receive a new password link via email... change the FB acct password

4. Go into FB settings, clear it out, when put the account to sleep.

... otherwise, your account is being used for spam both on FB and in the real world.

Cheers.

^ I thought that too, but I got another Welcome to FB e-mail, without clicking the link.

Maybe I should change my password ... CHANGED !

Well, this is interesting :s ... I live in PA:

Maybe its time to give a good scan with malwarebytes and change ALL of your important passwords

I don't ever use Facebook -- never have.

    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
    • I wonder what that line really meant...
    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
