@blog It's really much much simpler than that, in this particular case at least. *Any* message which asks you to "update your info" is a scam - there's no need to worry about the detail.
The problem is, that ignores all the hundreds of messages which are genuine. It's all very well smugly saying that you know a secret way to never getting fooled, but the real world isn't like that.
#FBPE @TimWardCam@c.im@blog I have never ever received a genuine message asking me to "update my info". Has anyone?
Yes. When I change credit cards, or close bank accounts, or things like that. Just because things don't happen to you, doesn't mean they don't happen. Evidently lots of people do get messages like this or spammers wouldn't bother trying to replicate them.
But, regardless, your suggestion that people simply just be as clever as you isn't really a long-term solution.
@TimWardCam @blog Yes. I have.
