Safe? Danger?

Konbanwa

Raining heavily right now
Traffic jamming I guess
This is going to be a long long day ;(

Today, one of my classmates told me something about Facebook, and I think I should share it with everyone ne.

To access facebook, we have to type http://www.facebook.com
And the page appear. No?
Also, can you remember the picture they uses on the main page? Is a map with human icons on, connecting each other with lines.
But what if is like this?
↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓


The above shows a picture of mobile phone. And I highlighted something on the main link tab.
See? Is http://www.facebook.com bla bla bla bla~

According to my classmate, she said this is a fake page of facebook.
If you log in from here, hacker can trace your e-mail addresses and that's where unknown people spam/add you.
How it happened, no one knows.

The original/real page is suppose to be like this~
↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓


↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑
See? Is not mobile picture and the link is clean.

Guess that is why recently so many friend requests for MSN/Yahoo Messenger users?
Maybe those are the source for hackers to retrieve our e-mail addreses?

But based on Dino's observation
- It might be not true because the page with mobile picture on appears when you only log out from facebook. Maybe that page is like a book, which need two different design of covers???
- Facebook doesn't aware of this ??? if is true?????

Dino's advice is~
- Whether true or not, when you log out from facebook and you are in that page, please click refresh or retype http://www.facebook.com. Just to play safe.
