Greetings Will! -
(i just saw your posting in Pierre's wall that was linked to scam page)
If you go to : "https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy" & click on "Apps and Websites - Edit your settings" ->
There You can cut down the ways how spammers abuse your account by removing access from apps that say something like "we have right to spam all your contacts and use ur account whenever we want" - there might be many like that...
it's not just about spam - viruses can be spread like that to your friends as well, stealing passwords, redirecting you to infected website's that can access your computer... and much more!
(ones account can also be closed if to many people report about scam/scam posts - and you might even not know about it .. hopefully fb will start to close down apps like that faster by tracing it down to the source ..)
Namaste
