Got another alert from my friend.
Notice that read circle that I drawn?
Does this look suspicious to you?
Yes, right now. There is only 150+ fans on the profile of the bad application.
Which means this application has not created a scare from the public.
If you see this alert, ignore it. Its trying to trick you.

Before I continue, I URGE YOU NOT TO CLICK on that link. PLEASE.
It will bring you to some advertisements website which does nothing and it looks like this:
AND FOR GOODNESS SAKE, FACEBOOK IS NOT SHUTTING DOWN.
THIS IS JUST SOME SCAM APPLICATION.
As usual, for a person like me, I will always investigate all the details before I make a full judgment. So here goes:
Can you see that this application IS NOT created by Facebook?
Can you see that I actually marked the ‘ Add Application ‘ word in red?
That Add Application word is NOT CREATED by Facebook, its the people which is behind this bad application.

I decide to be blind and just listen to them :
So I will agree on giving my details to them, be VERY careful about it, I urge you not to continue from here.

After that, I will see something like this:
What the hack ! When I click on one of the elements of the words below. It brings me to here ..
–
Thumbs up for your marketing strategy.
Thanks for spreading the rumor about Facebook shutting down.
To wrap up, this application..
DOES NOT harm your PC / Mac
DOES Serve you Ads
DOES Annoy users
DOES spread rumors about Facebook closing down
DOES cause a privacy issue ( as the person who created this can see your personal details )

I know that recently Facebook changed its T&C. But users doesn’t need to be so ‘ on and hiong ‘ right?
