So got to work this morning and we've got a DM to our business Twitter from another company in Bristol that we follow/are in our industry/etc.
All it said was "lol your famous now <link>". Given our industry (weddings) the chat is usually informal and very bloggy so although in hindsight this looks dodge, actually 99% of all wedding tweets are pretty much structured exactly the same as this.
Anyway the link takes you to a Facebook app but it can't find the app content. It's https and I checked the certificate etc which checks out. I refresh it a couple of times because our work internet can be dodgey and it eventually takes me to a Facebook login page. I login...
Pretty clever to be fair and I'm sure it'll catch a lot of people out.
FYI the original Facebook link is https://apps.facebook.com/427880797258362/ which then seems to redirect randomly (sometimes after 2 or 20 refreshes) to http://penfb.omgfb.org/mbf/bbp2.php (DON'T LOGIN, if that wasn't clear...)
Reported the app through Facebook but meh, time to think of where else I've got that login combo...
