Fake Facebook Alert Emails Link to Black Hole Sites

Attackers are sending spoofed pending notification emails to Facebook users, claiming that the recipients overlooked some alert on the world s largest social network.

It also contains a typo that is indicative of the sorts of writing errors that have become a hallmark of spam campaigns in general.
