Facebook cloning is when someone creates an account and steals all your photos and personal information, then sends messages to your friends in order to extract personal information about you.

The scam message reads: “Hi…. I actually got another friend request from you yesterday…which I ignored so you may want to check your account.

“Hold your finger on the message until the forward button appears…then hit forward and all the people you want to forward too….

“I had to do the people individually. Good Luck!”

Facebook has now said users should delete the message immediately

A spokesperson for Facebook told the Daily Mail that there was no virus attached to it but anyone who receives it should delete it immediately.

They added: “We’ve heard that some people are seeing posts or messages about accounts being cloned on Facebook. It takes the form of a ‘chain mail’ type of notice.

“We haven’t seen an increase in incoming reports of impersonation (cloned accounts).

“The volume of these types of posts isn’t a good measure for how often impersonation is actually happening.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
