Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - With Facebook’s initial public offering on the horizon, the company is making plenty of headlines. But you want to know about an email sent by the company’s CEO.
The email purports to be from Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
It claims that Facebook has teamed up with another tech powerhouse Apple and the company is randomly selecting users from a database to award free iPhones or iPads. The deal sounds too good to be true – and it is.
Anyone who receives this email is better off simply hitting the delete button. The link you are asked to follow directs you to enter your email address, a move that could leave you vulnerable to spam or even identity theft.
In general, it’s a good idea to be skeptical of any unsolicited emails – especially when they claim you have won a contest you never entered.
