Have a look at this neti.

69p?? *snigger*

This is why one cannot block messages anymore, you can only block a "stranger" once they have messaged you, I know this happened to me in March, and I couldn't understand it, so I changed my whole name and profile to avoid unwanted messages.

If you actually think first before you believe everything you read, why on earth would FB start charging people for something they can on their phones for a heck of a lot less?

oj it is for non friends who would not have your phone number, so why did FB bring back the messaging facility for everyone even us who had opted out??

Hi OJ, it is real. I've seen it when trying to contact someone not (yet) related to me in any way on FB. It's a small charge for directly sending a message into their inbox rather than the "others" inbox. It's a way of FB making money from you if you wanted to market to persons who you don't already have the details of.

Thank you Ab Editor, though why anyone would doubt me I have no idea - the Ibiza Ed (ps may I have some wages please??)

I wish everyone would use Myspace instead, it's a nicer site for bands, actors, artists and anyone who ike to pretty up their profile. If Facebook starts charging for messages ( they already charge to promote a post) then hopefully everyone will go to Myspace.

Good grief, is MySpace still going?

I had that years ago, whiled (wasted) many an hour tarting that up, lol.
