    #1: It posts an advertisment every time you use the promotion to get a blessing.
    #2: Connecting your FB makes them able to send you other 'updates' as well.
    #3: You seriously used a real account? b:laugh

    being a REPUTABLE organisation it shouldnt matter which account i use, the fact is that they promote hacking of accounts, which should NOT happen for being an established organisation

    There was this one time where my friend's facebook started posting random advertisements on my wall. I went and removed it from my wall and I ended up getting hit with this virus-thing as well. It started posting the same advertisements onto my friends' wall. Seems like you get infected when you remove it from your wall.

    This sounds similar to your problem. Change your password and don't touch anything and see if the problem persists over the next few days.

    He's referring to the fact that Facebook posts an advertising message (because that's what it is) to his friends' feeds every time he gets a Jones Blessing.

    And, as the replies to OP have proven, most people who get the blessings are using alternate accounts - most likely dummy accounts with 0 friends - to do it (myself included). Why? Because we're decent people who don't want to spam our friends' feeds with **** they don't care about (I mean hell... we're not playing Farmville here XD).

    So you can tell whoever cooked up the Facebook promotion that it's not serving their intended advertising goals. :P Maybe then we'll see the end of it and the stupid blessings as well... -_-

    I used my real account... and then set it to hide them from my news feeds and now it doesn't bother anybody.

    But I only bothered to get the blessing once because I'm not really into it. I'd rather not play like an addict with the blessing, and then when it goes bye-bye, oh wait... my character suddenly sucks because she doesn't hit as hard as I thought. b:bye

    Edit: And did you happen to leave your account open in a public place like a school or library computer lab? It just so happened earlier today that I sat down at the computer in one of my college computer labs and someone left their facebook logged in. So I posted on their wall saying it was hijacked and logged it out. Never know who can come across your account :P

    I've done dozens of those blessings and haven't ever got the problem you did. Likely, it's a problem with something you downloaded, something you allowed access to your fb that doesn't include pwi, or having weak security on your browser. Look more internally first.
