Beware of Facebook Fraudsters
Some fraudsters were trying to reset my Facebook password.
I received a Facebook password reset code and while I was certain someone was tampering with my account, a call came through with a hidden number.
Me: Hello, good evening
Fraudster: Hello, my name is Segun from Facebook. Did you receive a code from Facebook?
Me: Yes, I did and how may I help you?
Fraudster: Call out the code to me. We're using it to update your account info. We're doing that for everybody. Can you send me the code now?
Me: No
Fraudster: Why?
Realising I wasn't the idiot he was hoping to meet, he hung up the phone.
I've read about this tactic several times and it happened to me yesterday. Friends be on your guard. Facebook hackers are real.

There's some awful dumb fraudsters out there if they expect people to fall for this. Mind you I suppose you only need to be one degree more stupid tham them to believe it. It's a numbers game I guess but I think I would have had some fun with this call, giving them fake codes and stuff to waste their time.
It was after the call it occurred to me that I should have wasted the idiot's time and money with fake codes.
