    So the email scammers have moved onto facebook. Will facebook do anything to stop them?

    I used to give them the local policestations number. They still had a standard UK number not 08xx

    Everybody on Facebook has an @facebook.com email address. If you send a message to it, it goes into your 'Inbox' or 'Other' with your normal Facebook chat messages. It's possible they are simply sending the SPAM by email still.

    Standard Nigerian 419 scam (although they may not actually be Nigerian; going by Google, I suspect this one may be Russian).

    I have no need for these scams. I'm married. My accounts are readily emptied.
