There’s no such thing as a free lunch – or free Facebook credits. As proof consider the attack described below which has several stages:
  1. Users get messages with offers of “free Facebook credits”
  2. These trick users into running a malicious JavaScript
  3. The infected user is lead to a website – which probably offers the malware distributor some pay per click revenue
  4. The malicious script sends out more “free Facebook credits” messages and the cycle starts again

Simple and I gues very effective.......with so many people addicted to the Facebook games and stuff I gues this 500 credits are really tempting :p
