FACEBOOK.COM is a scam!!!

[Mercury91]

The person that said they have a Ban Amy Tryon group on FaceBook.com is a scam when you register they ask you for your password to access your email account NEVER GIVE THAT OUT!!

Anyone know how to get that person banned from horse and hound?

I have joined that facebook group and can assure you the one I joined did not ask for any of that.

Is it Facebook.com ???

I don't remember who mentioned it but they never said it was their account, just that it existed.

Yeah I see it was regular H&H Poster who didnt known better These scam sites are known to go to message boards and do this I made another post showing the message from the site.

So you give them your email account password and they scan your emails for keywords like PAYPAL!!! Credit Cards ect... and get your logins! The site may look legit and run like a normal site but its not

Anyone who wants to give me there email password for the outlook or any online yahoo ect... type account??? I can have your paypal account in minutes!! and every other password you have at any site!!

Anyone want the challange? I promise I will only buy the new Antares saddle my wife wants!! lol

So you all know I am not nuts! PapaFrita saw it also here is the post

I've just this minute registered and it didn't ask me for my email password. It asked me for me email address and a password I invented. Never once mentioned retrieving my email! Are you sure you didn't stumble onto a similar scam site?
Oh, hang on... you're right! I just skipped that stage though.

If any of you have young ones using your laptop or computer had they chosen to do that your complete contacts and notes would have been sent to face book!! If it was my computer I would have been doomed!! Thank god my Horses cant type

It's true! I registered and everything seemed fine, then it sent me an email and I had to click on the link to complete registration, and it certainly DID ask me for my email password. In fact, it asked me twice the second time after I opted to skip the first phase.
Surely that's not right??

ps: can you get ME an Antares saddle too please?

I have joined that group and also joined facebook - I have not had to give out my email password for either...

I know facebook has an option where you can give it your email password so it checks to see if any of your hotmail contacts are on facebook, but you can just tell it to skip that step or ignore it...

Ummm i've just joined that group on facebook and have not been asked for any details...

YES correct, that is optional and the only time you are asked for details - simple, dont click it!! Facebook is not a scam, trust me on that one! And please dont let this idea of it being a scam put you off joining the ban amy tryon group because the more members the better
