Brad Pitt not dead, don't click on any link that says he is, Facebook warns

In the days following the announcement that megastar couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were splitting, scammers saw an opportunity to do some damage.

A fake breaking Fox News story claiming Pitt has died has started making its rounds on Facebook.

The link, though, does not take you to a story on foxnews.com, it brings up a prompt to enter your Facebook username and password.

Unsuspecting victims who enter and submit the information are giving scammers access to their account, Facebook said.
