    Hi guys,

    I got this email supposedly from facebook, but I'm not sure if it is legit or not and if so what can I do? There was a link for sorting it out, in the email at one stage which I clicked on, using my phone but due to bad coverage I left it and thought I will clck on the link later. Now the link is gone from my email! Here is the email I received, any help will be appreciated.

    It looks like someone used your Facebook account to log into 'Facebook for Every Phone' (Friday, December 30, 2011 at 6:26pm).

    Facebook for Every Phone is a legitimate app. I suppose the question is do you use it on your phone?

    I think you can set Facebook to warn you every time your account is accessed from a mobile device (even it is you).

    You'll get directed to FAQ.

    The user should be able to tell from the e-mail if it's from Facebook or not.

    Have a scan through what apps you've authorised to access you account and see if it's there.

    Also have a look here:

    https://www.facebook.com/bookmarks/apps

    and here

    https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=mobile

    Finally, are you accessing FB on your phone and how are you doing so?
