    I have received numerous phone calls from 1-866-892-4077 purporting to be from Facebook informing me my account has been compromised and may be closed down. I have ignored this recorded message that requests I call them.

    Should I do anything else?

    On my mobile iPhone I was on Facebook and a very suspicious offer regarding getting a free iPhone 6 came up on the screen and I am unable to get it off the screen. I didn't accept the offer or say "OK" but FB is frozen with that staying on the screen. How do I get rid of it? It is not on my computer, only the phone.

      Restart the phone.
