Facebook Friends Request Warning

I thought some of you might appreciate a warning, I have noted recently that there are some very nice looking scam facebook requests being emailed lately. These requests look like the real thing, but are not. The email address looks right, the logos everything.
But they are fake, you can determine if a request is fake or not by hovering your mouse over any of the icons or buttons (never click) and this will display a web address on the status line of your browser that will show you the address to where you will be directed if you clicked it, this is often some server in russia or asia, but significantly not a facebook address. Beware never click on a friend request you do not know.
It is best to go directly to face book and see if you have friend request there, never by email.
Happy facebooking !
