Facebook charges you $100 to send a message on Facebook to a famous person.

If you're sending a message to a random person on Facebook, they'll charge you $1 to skip the spam filter and actually have the email delivered into the inbox.

But if the recipient has a lot of followers, Facebook will charge you $100.

Facebook says they're just testing the service to see if they can get away with it.

No, the recipient doesn't get a penny. The recipient gets the spam and Facebook gets the money.
