I disagree; the plug-in-this-Raspberry-Pi scam is unfortunately not uncommon, and not at all related to broadband testing AFAIK. A company called rentyouraccount.com runs a similar scam, and their service explains what the Pi is doing:
>Facebook has several mechanisms in place to protect your account. We make every attempt to work within the these constraints. In order to keep your account from being locked we use a small device called a Raspberry Pi. This device allows us to connect to Facebook advertising APIs from your home network and avoids the hassle of your account being locked due to unfamiliar activity. Learn more about the Raspberry Pi below.
