Facebook Fan Page Fraud

OK, so it's not fraud EXACTLY... but it's darn close and it is the single most aggravating thing in the [Facebook] world to me. Fraudulent representation of Fan Pages.

Chick-fil-A has an official Fan Page on Facebook. They advertise it on their website, so you know it's legit.

But look at their fan count. As of this being written, 582,871 people have become fans of Chick-fil-A. Is that all? Apprently, yes. Actually, no. There is another Fan Page claiming the same title, just with the "F" being capitalized [incorrectly]. This page has an additional 405,618 fans at the time this article is being written. That is a combined total of 988,489 fans of Chick-fil-A. Account for facebookers that are probably fans of both pages (why would you do that?!), and Chick-fil-A should still have well over 800,00 fans.

Now... Facebook has in place the option to report fan pages. One of the valid reasons for reporting, as listed in the dropdown menu of choices, is "Fake page." I urge everyone reading this to go to the fake page, report it as such, remove your fan status, and become a fan of the real page. If you love Chick-fil-A, you'll do this. Benefit from coupon giveaways, store opening announcements, and avoid the lame status updates from the fake page ("Chick-Fil-A wants to wish everyone a HAPPY DAY!" posted May 12 at 8:18pm - GAG).
