I just read about this. If you have a Facebook account, I highly recommend clicking on the link and watching the video from WebCastr.com:

“Computer security specialists warn that Facebook users have been hit with a series of data-stealing attacks in the past week as cyber crooks increasingly stalk social-networking websites. This attacked is called 419 Scam.”

Here’s the link: http://webcastr.com/videos/informational/facebook-cyber-crooks-target.html

Anytime someone contacts you via the internet asking for money, whether it’s via email or via a social networking site like Facebook, it’s a good idea to be skeptical and attempt to verify directly with the individual - even if the individual is someone you think you know.
