Facebook users who have received "New Login to Facebook" messages like the one below, which claim a user has just signed into their accounts from a new device, asked not to click on the links in them or follow the instructions them. This is because the fake messages are being sent by cybercriminals who are attempting to trick their potential victims into visiting a fake Facebook website where they will be asked to sign-in. But, any attempts to sign-in will result in the potential victims' username and password being sent to the cybercriminals.
Once the cybercriminals receive the stolen Facebook credentials, they will use it to gain access to the accounts and use them maliciously or fraudulently.
