Norm,
I've been getting those mails also. But my gmail automatically flags them as spam. And if I check the link to click for reading the "messages from friends", it's obvious that it's probably a phishing attempt.
So it's not really Facebook per se.
Met vriendelijke groeten / Best regards,

That can be true depending on what you are testing.
I have set up various accounts for testing, including Facebook, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, Live, etc., with no attachments but some get frequent spam and others none.
Facebook is particularly bad, I constantly get emails telling me I have friends waiting for responses on an account I set up in my company name. I don't have any 'friends' link not even my personal account.

I think a lot of abuse varies. If you have both a land line and a mobile phone and use your land line for all the companies which service your
home: banks, light, gas, dish network, shopping cards, etc; then you will probably have minimum disruption on your cell phone. But if you use your cell phone for everything then all gloves are off. I can see how laws in different countries may make your individual experience vary.
I have a yahoo account that is used for very limited testing. I've never received a piece of spam to it in over 10 years of use. If no one knows it, and it's not something stupid like clinton2016, then the odds of getting spam go down the tubes.
