Hadn't checked my email in a few days, but when I did I had about a dozen or emails from facebookmail.com, or so that's what the scammer wanted you to think. It's a phishing scam and this particular email of mine is not registered with facebook anyway. The problem is that facebookmail.com is a legitimate site, and after reviewing the header of several of the messages, they all of course have different return paths in the header.

From address looks like: "[email protected]". The middle portion after update is always different.

Is email really so insecure that I can't find the real source of them so I can block all of these yet allow legit ones to come through?
