Warning: A possible Facebook app scam – fb_activat

Suddenly I saw a stream of friends claiming you need to activate your account on Facebook so Facebook can make more server room (yeah ok).  They all pointed for you to load this application.  The crazy thing is, this is not how Facebook activates accounts, nor do they require you load another application.  Here is a screenshot of the application, notice the fake Facebook logo attempt:

Confirmation on account sign-up is done through email, not through an application that access your data.

As you can see, why would you load an application that pulls your profile information and anything else, when it is already in Facebook?  Run away fast and do not load this until there is more clarification.
