Facebook Login Scam

I was checking my spam folder for scam emails, like I always do, and I found TWO from different email accounts with the same Facebook Login Scam. Below is a copy of the text along with the email addresses that they were sent from.

Subject: new login system
From: update+fronaltlwvdsv@facebookmail.com
From: update+gbidzxt@facebookmail.com

Dear Facebook user,

Before you are able to use the new login system, you will be required to update your account.

If you have any questions, reference our New User Guide.

Thanks,

If you recieve a similar email, do not click on the links in it. This is how the scammer gets your Facebook account, and maybe other iformation about you.
