A recent phishing scam "Free Mobile Recharge" targets Facebook users, hijacks accounts and making impossible to recover the account, warned by McAfee.
The scam automatically post a tricky free recharge offer on the victim's wall to convince their friends to click on that link. Following the link will land you in a phishing website, which asks for their Facebook account details. Once you fill the detail and press the login button, it will take you to survey page. Meanwhile it will send your login details to attacker.
The same scam message is posted on that victim’s wall to further spread the attack.
The attacker not only change the account passwords but also deleted their primary information such as email . Even if the victims try to reset their passwords, they will never get the password reset email from Facebook.
