Hey [user's name],Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your password has been changed. You can find your new password in attached document.Thanks,Facebook just wants you to know this is fake, and wouldn’t send an attachment. What makes this worse than Myspace spam is that when you open that attachment the worm crawls through your computer collecting all of your password account information for any website. I’m always on Facebook. I log in several times a day and even check it on my cellphone and I cannot afford these slip ups and these viruses growing and growing. That is supposed to be the beauty of Facebook - you are secure - so I hope I don’t get this email and if you do- don't click the attachment.
