I could understand it if I had spyware on my computer but Norton scans come up clean except for a few cookies. I left Facebook a year or so ago because I was worried about security. I do not have a good feeling about this web site, considering that it was this easy to get into my account?? I have enjoyed playing games there and connecting with friends and family, but right now I am not feeling it's worth it. Has anyone else had a similar, scary experience on Facebook?
Sounds fishy. I doubt the email actually was from FB, but of course I could be wrong.
