So, I was on my Facebook account just a little while ago, and to my surprise, a fishy message came up from a "friend" I never chat with. The following message "WARNING! Verify your Account Details" is fake. Besides the simple spelling errors, the rogue application even says it's NOT made by Facebook, yet here's a strange application asking for login details. Here's how all this crap works:
1. You give away your Facebook info.
2. Your account will become hacked, and your password and other login details will be changed.
3. The hacker, at this point, will use your account and attempt to scam your other FB friends, trying to get them to enter their information so they can be hacked.
