Goldbase.be is a Facebook Scam: DO NOT Visit [WARNING]
It seems there’s no end to the Facebook spam and phishing attacks. Today my Facebook inbox shows there’s another attack underway that’s suckering even some of the most tech savvy users: I’m receiving Facebook mails with links to “.be” sites which are obviously nefarious. The subject line of the mails is “Look at This”.
If you receive such a mail, DO NOT click links to the following sites:
goldbase.be
greenbuddy.be
silvertag.be
picoband.be
As we saw with Twitter’s Mikeyy attacks, these scams are particularly effective at weekends because the websites have less staff on hand to deal with them.
What To Do
If you receive one of these Facebook ( ) mails, simply delete it - one of your friends is infected but not you. If you find, however, that your account is sending the mails:
1. As a precaution, go to your browser settings and clear your cookies.
2. Change your Facebook password
3. Make sure your antivirus software is up to date and run a full system scan

Lately, Facebook Worm Malware phishing attacks virus continues. After Koobface, fbstarter.com, FBAction.net. Facebook 151.im, ponbon.im, and now again areps.at virus attacks, bests.at, check kirgo.at, nutpic.at, brunga.at and continue to trick users facebook.
It seems that did not stop phishers to trick users facebook. I wish facebook users take more care to the virus that always lurk their account.
One way to make sure that it's the real Facebook site you're logging in to? Simply put in a made up e-mail and password in the login page. The phishing sites have been putting out a "502 Bad Gateway" error, while the real Facebook would ask you to try again. Note that this is not a 100% fool proof method (check the address bar!), but few phishers, particularly for a scheme like this, are likely to go through the trouble of a complicated input verification scheme, said Softsailor.com

Looks like Facebook has another phishing scam to deal with. Today’s is a message that appears to be appearing in users’ inboxes with the prompt to “Check areps.at.” Similar to last week’s 151.im phishing scheme the domain is not automatically hyperlinked in Facebook, but email clients, like Gmail or Yahoo, will auto-link it. Don’t click on that link and don’t copy and paste it into your browser.
Apparently the link will lead you to a Facebook log-in page. If you login to the site, the site will steal your email and password and will send all of your friends the same message. Twitter reveals that the same has been taking place all morning but I just received a Facebook message from a friend who was sucked into the scam a half hour ago.
