First I would like to say good job. I enjoyed reading your investigation.
Really it was too tough for me to get my husband on board after waiting months I went another route to get his account.
I personally had to wait months to sign up since I did not have a facebook account. The people running these scams must be computer nerds. I do good to have my account. Lol
I think the signup process has lately been slowed down tremendously due the sheer amount of fakes trying to exploit it.
I hope we can see a change to this sooner than later!
It is natural for fakes to fake. Lol..sorry I could not resist. We all appreciate your work.
