Facebook users, if you see the message below, which claims that Facebook needs to confirm your login information (email, phone and password) in order for you to access a video application, ignore or delete it. The fake message is a scam that is being used by cybercriminals to steal Facebook login credentials. Once cybercriminals have stolen Facebook account login credentials, they will hijack the same accounts and use them fraudulently.

I have had my FB account hijacked I can no longer gain access to my account. I keep getting codes sent to my phone to open my page. I tried FB to get some information how to fix the problem but they ask me for more identification. I really am becoming very suspicious because I don't like handing over my personal information in case they are hackers who have put up information sites to gain more information. how do you know something is legitimate.
Ensure that you are on www.facebook.com. Go to https://www.facebook.com/hacked to recover your hijacked account.
Just got 2 request from a friend that said she didn't send them... don't like that thay have my profile picture!
I got a message from a Facebook friends of mine with a link to a video about me. Once clicked on the link it asked to login to access the video. I asked my friend what this was about and she didn't respond even though she had only been online 1 minute ago. I changed my password just to be safe.
