Facebook Security Network[Phishing Alert]
  
Be careful about the bogus Facebook message from Facebook Security Network(Keep in mind that this is not the real Facebook Security).It is a phishing attempt to gain access to Facebook user accounts:

Here is how the message looks like:

Have you noticed how the scammers used a mix of bogus links and authentic Facebook links to make the scam appear real? One big question is the verification link. Facebook would not redirect users to
Code:
http://shortlink.tk/gh/accountconfirm
for their account verification process.

If any user unknown about the scam clicks on the link,he/she is taken to the following a page on which if he/she clicks on the 'Continue' button loads the following page:

It is obvious that the "Steps" that users click though are designed to gather Facebook login information and other personal details.The final page of the scam is as shown below:

If a user submits their Facebook login details,then the scammers will have a complete control over his/her account.They can access their personal information to try and steal their identity and can also send bogus messages to their friends stating that they are in trouble and need money and so on.They can send links to other scams to all of the victim's Facebook friends...the ways of misusing and exploiting once the account is in their control are endless...

If you entered your Facebook login details on the scam page then be sure to let your Facebook friends know that your account has been taken over by someone else and not to click on any links that are sent from you.
