The name of the website will change, for example, it may change to "album88.com", "album32.com", "album99.com", "album92.com" and so on. The word "album" remains constant but the number changes.
Here is a message that was taken from one of the e-mails:
"go to album32.com and search 'had my name', then click on first photo. I bet you didn't remember that, eh?"
The album*.com websites are redirects that go to the following Facebook page:
- http://www.facebook.com .login.php-profile -signin-gkmeydlw.ihtts.com/index.php?s=dot.
This is where the phishing (the stealing of your information) takes place. The phishing website is not located at facebook.com, but instead at the website: ihtts.com.
Do not let the domain name or website address fool you. It was crafted to trick you into believing that you are on facebook.com.
