A NOTE FROM “MASHABLE.COM”:
It’s getting a bit repetitive, but scammers continue to exploit Facebook with very formulaic phishing scams that more or less do the same thing.
Today’s is from a site called “Areps.at,” and like other scams before it (see FBAction.net, FBStarter.com, etc), it simply asks for you to input your Facebook username and password, with a design that looks similar to that of Facebook.
Don’t give this site your information. If you do, it will proceed to send all of your friends a message telling them to go to Areps.at, and hence, the scam will continue to spread like wildfire.
It’s not yet clear if there is a virus associated with this scam, or if it’s just simple phishing, though we’ve seen some reports that suggest the site may be attempting to spread the infamous Koobface virus. We’ll update here as we learn more.
