This report is intended to be a forewarning , because we don't yet know WHERE or WHY a window suddenly appears. But the fact is that this could phishing attempt or possibly a ZBOT Trojan We know what the window looks like and we know that Trojaner-Board.de is already discussing it. We have already received a number of inquiries about this, but no one could tell us what was clicked before or what the trigger could be. All users just said “It was suddenly there and you no longer have a chance of accessing the profile”.
This is the window.
It appears immediately after registration.
Here is a detailed view:
The content in text form:
Dear Facebook member, Facebook is and remains free. However, according to the new law §98|2 BKA from October 1st, 2012, Facebook must identify every customer (in order to remove fraudsters from the network) and charge them a fee of 10 cents. The amount will be credited back to your credit card at the beginning of the next calendar month. So – Facebook will not and will not incur any extra costs for you. To do this, please fill out the prepaid card form and then confirm it via our partner Verified at VISA (VbV)
Which is pretty sure it's a phishing scam in the first place!
As soon as you enter your data here, it will be forwarded 1:1 to the fraudster(s).
But what makes us suspicious is that you CANNOT close this window.
Users report that they have no way to open or access their account.
At trojaner-board.de they are already talking about a “ZBOT Trojan”
What does a “ZBOT Trojan” actually do?
A ZBOT Trojan downloads malicious files, modifies the registry, steals various information such as login details/bank details and enables unauthorized access to the respective computer!

As already mentioned, we only know what the window looks like.
If any of you have fallen victim to this attack, please send us a message -> https://www.mimikama.org/scam-report/
Maybe we can all find out together what the trigger is!
