if it's only happening on one computer, then that computer is infected with something
have you tried using a different browser on that computer? because if the same thing happens in all browsers, it's something installed on your computer (like a virus) but if it only happens in one browser, then that means it's a browser extension that is hijacking your traffic
disable all of your browser extensions in that case

Sounds like you got phished. fB should never ask your CC details. Try entering FB address in the URL bar without using any saved links or shortcuts. Make sure the web address is correct before entering any info, then change your password for sure.

If you can access your facebook from all computers except one, then that one computer must be infected with some virus. If you don't have a virus scanner, I suggest AVG. It's free and can clean up your computer. Also, be sure to never give out that kind of information, especially to free websites like Facebook. They don't need your credit card details to verify you. I've had hack attempts on my own facebook account. I was able to verify myself through my email and phone.
