A slightly off-topic question - how the hell do you contact Facebook if you don't have a Facebook account?

Someone has registered a Facebook account using my email address (apparently they do no verification at all) and I can't stop the spam ....

Request an new password, and then change the password on the Facebook account. I've done that myself.

well - I did that .... and changed the email address to a dummy account .... and still they send me almost weekly spam to the old address - "Why aren't you using FaceBook? here's a single link you can use to log on without a password" ... these bozos have no concept of security

Or rather I should say "these bozos have no concept of their customer's security" .... but I guess we all knew that already

But at least they can solve graphing problems!

Sounds like what has been happening to me. Except when I try to login to nuke the thing I get some error message about a database error and can't login. So the Facebook spam about new friend suggestions etc keeps coming. But since I have always marked it as spam it usually goes straight to the spam box.

If they won't stop spamming you, you can sue them under the CAN-SPAM act.
