---- THREAD CLOSED 08/05/2015 ----
Some time ago when FB introduced the email addresses linked to your account a few people had the bright idea of scraping fb usernames and then email [email protected] as this was what the email would look like, these emails where never getting through though or no one bothered/knew how to check them on the fb side...
I'm guessing the whole email thing was a flop for fb as today I got an email notification that they are now forwarding all the mail sent to [email protected] to your ACTUAL email address that they have on file for you!
What does this mean? Simple... Scrape fb usernames -> email [email protected] -> now rather than the message going to god knows where and never being opened, facebook will instead be forwarding the email right on to that users real email address...
I tested this sending an email from my hotmail account to [email protected] within 30 seconds I had the email in my actual email inbox, forwarded to me from fb
Don't think there is much more I need to say on the subject, I assume you can all spot the potential in this....
