FaceBook allows members to abuse the members on their contact list.
by Bj aka Bill Brown Hosting and Backup Service provider
I suddenly started receiving spam emails. The reason for this flood of spam was because a bimbo by the name of Belinda Condel had added about 40 people, myself included, into a FaceBook group she had created.
Ok you say so why you calling her a bimbo? Bit harsh isn't it? Now I don't think so in fact I think I am being extremely polite about the whole thing. It is well known I am totally against spammers and scammers. This bimbo is clearly a spammer and possibly, note I say possibly not definitely, a scammer.
The trademark of scammers and spammers is they send you information they have not been given permission to send to you. Email is covered by the CAN SPAM ACT, . What people do not understand/realize is that the same rules apply to ALL SN sites, instant messengers, forums, etc.
This bimbo Condel added around 40 people into a FaceBook group that we know nothing about, and it seems most, have no interest in. As an Appropo that number has now increased to over 70 so her spamming/scamming continues.
By this act of forcing people into a group without first asking them, Condel has shown herself to be a scammer/spammer. My profile states I am NOT interested in MLM but this bimbo was too busy trying to scam us all that she did not take time to read it.
She has abused every member of the FaceBook group and clearly shown us all, by her actions, that she has no marketing ethics and fewer morals than a dog on heat.
I have recommended that everyone that was dragged into this FaceBook group and were not first asked if they were interested,
MUST
- report the group as spam/scam.
- leave the group.
- kick this bimbo off their contacts.
This should be the action of everyone who is dragged by the scruff of the neck into any FaceBook group.
People you need to wake up this action by Condel is an excellent lesson in how NOT to try and influence people and make friends. All you will do is alienate yourself.

Hosting and Backup Service providerAnyone that adds people into a group without their prior permission is a spammer/scammer. it takes no effort to ask people if they are interested in joining first. It also builds the peoples trust and confidence ion you. Jul 9th 2011 13:11 |

  Super SurferI think not. I respect your point of view, but I have a different opinion. When I have someone in my contacts, so I suppose that is for some reason. Perhaps we share similar views or interests. Then I have no problem when someone from my contacts invite me to the group about something, where assumed my interest. If I'm not interested in I leave the group. Jul 9th 2011 13:25 |

Hosting and Backup Service provider@radek An illusion so many people live with is that if someone agrees to be on your contact list you can do and send what ever you feel like. This is wrong you cannot treat your contacts, as if they are your pet dog making them do things at your command. Your contacts are people and should be treated with respect. You want to send an ad you ask them. You do not slam it in front of them and give them no option but to read what you sent. You want to invite them to a group ask them don't just drag them in there as if they are your slaves at your command. Jul 9th 2011 14:27 |

 Internet marketerI think is proper to invite your contact to join your group in facebook rather than adding him without his knowledge. For instant, i joined a fb group via apsense member here but am not comfortable with the group because my email inbox is field with group update, i will leave group soon. So is good to clear from contacts before adding them. Jul 10th 2011 02:34 |

Yes Chuks i am agree with you,It depends upon us of which group we are going to join.But here bjantiques had faced a different problem,and what he had faced is just called a spamming.Facebook should make some policy to that.As no can send me any thing or be my contact without asking me.These can be moderate or it should be.

Internet MarketerIf I add a friend to a group FB should ask that friend for permission first, FB is doing the same thing when you request a friendship, they have to agree first. Sep 1st 2011 03:15 |

Hosting and Backup Service provider@herberts "Should" being the operative word, because they don't you are just dragged into the group and then you have to remove yourself. Sep 1st 2011 13:20 |
I think is not the problem of Facebook. Is the abuse from that member. I am using Facebook as networking tool, so I will use this feature also. But when using brain is much easier, so I will not send everything to everyone. And like you said she is in your contacts, that means you accepted request (is unwanted?). It is not the problem leave that group or block that member. Because then you can say that everyone using Facebook groups is spammer.
