I guess that you are asking whether FB scraping is illegal, and this is your answer from the horse's mouth:Btw, everything is important there, but read point #14 very carefully...
One of my dearest friends got punished back then for whatever he did to a giant company... now some of my other friends (may be many of those) are going the same way and too openly. Who would know if they do it in secret? (no one, or not too many). But as they do it openly, people who matter are focusing on to this, and so they could be in similar dangers because the target is one of the biggest companies in the world, and so, out of deep concerns, I wrote the above piece. Please don't do it, there could be your dear ones and highly-placed ones (I don't know, there could definitely be the one who is working at a very high place among the family) who could get needlessly and negatively involved, especially if you are a US or its friendly nation's citizen. The investigators will find that angle too... F~B is cracking on everything all the time to save its reputation as one of the top entities in the world, and they make the culprits pay so that others like him/her take notice in future and stay away afap... Do you have a chance against them? Think...Code:https://www.facebook.com/apps/site_scraping_tos_terms.php
People who do it secretly are not easy prey for f~b, but those doing the same this openly--- be warned. I'm your friend, and hence this concern... the thread is just 2 days old, may be little less than that if you're on the US side. This will surely go viral soon, and then those initially slow moving wheels WILL gather speed, in this direction definitely, imo.
I don't see how it would hold up in court. The info is available to anyone who wants it without scraping. It's all public knowledge through facebook and google. If you liked a post on a facebook page, your name shows up in a google search for liking that post and also on the facebook page. Anyone could email them by going a page of their choice, looking to see who liked a post, clicking on their name, and sending an email to them by pasting their username and adding @facebook.com at the end. I'd fight it to the death if they came after me. If they don't want people emailing their members, then don't broadcast their name on the facebook page or allow their name to be visible through a google search. That's all Facebook Lead Chef does. It picks up the most active people on a page who liked and/or commented.

Someone can really monetize this thread by offering a mailing service for noobs
Great share t0mmy
True, need someone who can provide a robust mailing solution for scraped data. I'm not aware of anyone on BHW that offers this. Saying that, I think it's a PITA to implement (due to honey traps, etc).

Im pretty sure you can get lists scraped AND mail sent from certain sites and you are out of the loop. Just look for providers from outside the US who dont aggressively pursue these sort of "offenses"Someone can really monetize this thread by offering a mailing service for noobs

I keep forgetting to post this. Here is a free mass mailer program. It's open source. I have it, but never used it. Read their warning about using it with your domain name instead of with gmail. http://biggmassmailer.codeplex.com

Cracked Version of Lead chef is not working anymore... yesterday i Stumbled on a Chrome extension that scrapes UID from Graph search, Page, groups, Followers ETC.
Below is the Link.
HTML:
http://uidscraper.com/I tried using it and it did well to scrape UIDs Then thanks to Fatboy who yesterday shared his coded bot that Converts UIDs to Name.
Once i got the names i just Bulk added @facebook.com using MS Excel.

Now that I finished scraping everyone who gave me an email address, I can finally do what I have been very excited about doing. I'm off to email the people on a page that belongs to the little wench who insulted my vintage jewelry. Wooooooo hoooooooo!!!

I tried both using the default one, and an app id that is connected to the account logged in. I have a paid version of FBLC and its up to date. They still haven't replied to the ticket, support is a joke.

I don't want my company has a bad reputation with SPAM.

Sign out of everything and close all your windows. Use ccleaner to clean out your system. Reboot. Do not sign into facebook. Open facebook lead chef and sign onto facebook through fb lead chef with an account that is not connected to any apps. See if you still have the same problem. If you're still having a problem, send me the page you want scraped and your email addy, and I'll do it for you.
