Analysis:

This is an application shared on Facebook with a title ‘Change Your F-B Theme’ that claims to change your Facebook theme. Let us learn if it really works.

Facebook has a standard theme and the idea of changing it interests many users. So it has become customary for many people to come up with such claims. The present app, as we checked, makes it a must to invite friends on Facebook before the said change in Facebook theme can happen. When you agree to this, the ‘Change Your F-B Theme’ app receives information about your public profile and friend list, and invites your list of friends on Facebook to play Change Your F-B Theme. After done this, we are redirected to a portal page mimicking to connect using Facebook that asks for Facebook log in details. Subsequently, you are then redirected to third party websites that promote games and other stuff. Like it happens often, the app does not change your Facebook theme.

In short, Change Your F-B Theme App is yet another scam that misleads users onto promotional websites and also steals their Facebook credentials. Beware of accessing such apps. If you have fallen prey for this scam, we advise you to change your Facebook log in details immediately.
