Kim, as long as you didn't provide your Facebook login you should be fine. If you did provide any personal information (such as a username and password), I'd advise that you immediately change your Facebook password, and, unfortunately, start monitoring your banking, credit card and cellphone accounts. With only a full name and date of birth scam artists can attempt to compromise your identity.

That said, it sounds like from what you've described that all should be fine.

Hi, thanks a lot for this. I got two of those today and stupidly clicked on the first one. I didn't give out my Facebook password but there was an image with a code you had to type in and I did this twice, then just closed the window. What happens now? Am a bit worried.
