What this particular message is suggesting is that there is a major security flaw with facebook that allows a user to take over your home computer some how by adding you as a friend. The best part is you're propagating this warning on facebook its self. So in order for this NOT to be a hoax, there'd have to be a big security hole in face book, that they're completely ignoring because not only do they know how it's being done, but they know the exact user doing it and yet it continues?

Just a little common sense and maybe a little computer savvy and you'll know it's a hoax. I expect a host to have a little computer savvy and further I always considered you of at least above average intelligence. I mean, I can understand Cyber Claire not understanding, but you should know better.
Do you use FB? There are all kinds of aps that are nothing but spam. Who knows what else is lurking around in there. As stated earlier, I have not grown to trust FB at all.
