A person named Philip Porembski is running a firm called PP Web Services.He has the passwords of over 116,000 facebook accounts and sent over 7.2 million spam messages. what he basically does is spam people with links that are similar to the facebook logins that we see around the internet but he takes our passsword from that login page and spam your friends with the same link.The other thing he does is also spamming but with links of pages who in turn will pay him for the no of clicks they get. Due to this 4500 people have deleted their accounts. About 8000 complaints have been filed.
So beware facebook users(including myself).
