Don't click any links in the message. These are sometimes phising messages and once you confirm your ID and password they hijack your stuff

I agree with Homer........don't click on any links inside of emails...even if they are from sites like your banking institution or paypal.  There are alot of hackers and bad bad people out there that want your information and sometimes we blindly give it to them by believing they are who they say they are. 

I once got an email from paypal and said my account may have been compromised and they gave me a link to click on to log on and verify my information, well I took my mouse and hovered over the link (without clicking on it) and it was going to take me to some other site....not paypal.  But it looked all official because the people that sent the email copied the paypal graphics and made it look legit.  As I said I DID NOT CLICK!  But there are some people who may who don't know any better!

BEWARE! BEWARE!  If you believe any account on any site has been compromised and you want to make sure, go to the site directly yourself and log on as you normally would and change your information from there....not from any email!

all excellent advice............. I love the "hover" part.  I think facebook must have somehow been breached.  They didn't send me a link.  They told me to go log in and change my profile information.  Hopefully all is good
