I spent 6 months working for a UK ISP.
The numbers of notifications that we sent out that went straight into Spam was annoying.

Something to do with the business name "Virgin"

By the way, I got an email today that looked like an ordinary Facebook notification, telling me that a friend commented on a photo I posted.
When I clicked to see what photo he was talking about, I was taken to a Facebook login page that had his name filled in and an open password box.
Guess I'd better change my Facebook password.

I quite often get emails telling me I have unread facebook messages that will be deleted if I don't read them very soon. As I haven't got a facebook account, they are fooling nobody.

Fakebook can't tell me because I deleted that e-mail address.

Maybe the spammers know this, but how could I tell?

FWIW Fakebook is so unimportant and so easy to open another account, who cares if I loose it. Nobody gets my mobile number. Either.
Mobile & Fakebook are for keeping essential people in touch, not as a data portal for rich kids.
