   I believe hhoban is wrong, facebook do not advertise in this way. A lot of phishing (theft of account details) has been going on through sites designed to look like facebook, and a large number of login details have been taken and are used to attract people to such lookalike sites by writing on random friends’ walls, where you are prompted to give your username and password, thus making you another victim of the vicious cycle.

   Some of the links are not obvious phishing, but probably clients of the people who steal these login details. Let’s face it, yourlovecalc must have a lot of hits by now, however unethical their marketting approach is.

   My advice is to ignore any such posts that seem out of the norm, and to advise the friend whose account is responsible to change their facebook login details, and (much more improtantly) change the passwords for any other services eg paypal that may use the same email and password.
