It all looks plausible at first glance except:

- My middle initial is not "F".

- The "Confirm" email address is not the one I use on FaceBook.
It's my main "junk" address that I supply to strangers.


When I paste either link into FireFox (which has not remembered
any of my PWs) I get a login page asking for the PW to go with
the "Confirm" addr.



My real facebook account (whose name is nothing like "Peter F
Cresswell") looks normal to me....

So... did I just get Phished?

Now that Confirm at fatbelly fullstop com is out of the bag,
should I care? I'll post them if there's no further downside.
