A word of warning about creating Facebook pages

I just want to give all of you a chance to save a lot of headaches and lost work by sharing what has happened to me. I am not trying to bash anyone's product, but there is a very popular one right now that teaches the exact thing that got me in trouble.
Here is what happened about 6 months ago. I bought Alphie the robot for my 4 year old grandson. He loved it and packed it with him everywhere he went. On many occasions, people asked me where i got it and would remark that they was going to have to get one for their child or grandchild. It didn't take long to realize that this things sells itself and I could promote it as an amazon affiliate.

Soon I got the brilliant ( i thought) idea of creating a Facebook fan page about it. Sure enough it did catch some attention and gained some fans pretty quickly. But....the party did not last long. Within days Facebook shut down the page and sent me a not so nice message about trademark infringement and possible legal action against me if I were to try anything like that again. They also threatened to take away my page creating privileges, which would be the least of my worries considering the possible Penalties for Trademark Infringement that can even end up leading to criminal charges.

Anyway, if anyone encourages you to go out and start creating facebook fan pages about (for example) a canon digital camera for the purpose of making a profit, be careful. The pages you build on facebook and other social sites probably won't last long. You hard work will be gone with the wind someday, and it could turn much uglier than that.
