This looks like a phishing attempt because I don't have a Facebook account.
I don't participate in the social networking experiments. So there's no way
I've been having trouble using it.

But all the links appear to be legitimate. I looked at the source, and they
all use https://www.facebook.com/... The only thing that looks suspicious
is the email address of [email protected]. It looks fake because
Facebook is facebook.com, bit WHOIS claims its owned by Facebook, Inc.

Does Facebook regularly use phishing in an attempt to lure users? Is deceit
a common practice with Facebook? Aren't these practices a violation of a
number of consumer protection laws?
