NEED HELP! FACEBOOK ACTIVATE!?

[Tano G]

Okay, im getting tonnes of these things in my newsfeed from my friends and its saying something like "My friends name ACTIVATE your account or it will be deleted within a week. and it has the little facebook icon beside it, so it looks legit , but i think its fake!

When I click the ACTIVATE it re-directs me to the application page on facebook, and it says :

Allow Access?
Allowing Activate Account access will let it pull your profile information, photos, your friends' info, and other content that it requires to work.
Allow
or cancel

I dont want to add the application because im afriad something might happen, but I don't want to not add it and then loose my account!

HELP!
