Facebook uses spammy tactics?

7:00 PM, October 22nd, 2011

I don't use facebook -- I've yet to find a hole in my life that it can fill. But sometimes you need a facebook account to see something, so I registered a fake account just so that I'd have a way of seeing them. Naturally, it didn't take long before facebook started spamming the address.

Today's is a really bad one, showing really deceptive tactics:

The email says that I have received notifications, and shows 1 message waiting.



However, when I click the message link, I instead get taken to the "Find your Friends" page...


There is no message. They just wanted me to "Find my Friends". This is really deceitful of them.

What is this Facebook thing? My sister created a FB account for me to share pictures but I don't even know the password. Haven't been there in a year. Sorry Zuckerberg I'm not in the club. I do LinkedIn and that's about it.

Oh btw I answered the security question with text number and got rejected. Let's try the Arabic.
