Peter,
After going into FB and browsing the settings, I couldn't find the precise
setting you mentioned but did find a number of others, which I adjusted and
that seems to have fixed the issue.
Thank you for your assistance,
Norm Dennis

Norm,
Maybe you can go on facebook using that account, go to the "import friends"
setting and tell it that you don't want it. It might stop nagging ;-)

Pete,
You are probably correct for the most part.
I received one a few minutes ago, definitely from FB, says:
You have more friends on Facebook than you think
The fastest way to find all of your friends on Facebook is importing your
email contacts. Once you've imported your contacts you can view, manage or
delete them at any time.
I get this one every day without fail.
Cheers,
Norm Dennis

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.

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.
