The scammers have returned to the farm. According to FarmVille Freak, another illegitimate News Feed post is circulating Facebook. This time, it offers FarmVille players a free English Stars Sheep. This is not an official Zynga offer, so do not click on it, notify whomever supplied the feed and delete the post from your own News Feed. That is, if you couldn't tell already from the poor punctuation and pixelated image. Not to mention, this expansion pack hasn't even been released yet.
If you unfortunately did click on the offer and the subsequent pop-up page, which itself mentions that this "English Stars Sheep" has not been officially released yet, scan your computer for malware and change your passwords immediately. Also, keep in mind that accounts affected by scammers can be suspended by Zynga. So, be careful of the offers you accept and only accept those officially from Zynga.

Have you seen this scam floating around the News Feeds? How do you think Zynga should handle the issue?

FarmVille English Countryside: Exclusive decorations in the store
While you may have found yourself all caught up in the many quests and buildings to construct on your second farm in the FarmVille English Countryside, don't lose sight of the fact that there are a set of new and exclusive decorative items available to purchase for your new land in the game's store.
Like the Country Fence that was standing next to your Horse Stable? You can purchase that and two other items that are exclusive to the English Countryside expansion by heading to the Decorations tab of the store and clicking on "Them" under the Sort By drop down menu.
The Country Fence mentioned above costs 300 coins per piece, while a Dilapidated Fence is a lighter shade of brown (or even a dark tan color) that also costs 300 coins per section, but is a bit broken (on purpose of course). Finally, you can purchase a low Country Hedge to create all manner of mazes or just more naturally divided areas on your farm for 600 coins per piece.
There is no time limit associated with these items, so we expect them to be available permanently on your new farm.
Check out the rest of our English Countryside coverage right here.
Will you fill your second farm with these exclusive fence types?

FarmVille LE English Countryside Trees: European Beech & Juniper Trees
In tonight's FarmVille update, we see the release of two new trees in the current English Countryside limited edition item theme. These two trees are available to place on either your Home Farm or on your second farm in the English Countryside, but remember - if you'd like to have one of these trees on both of your farms, you'll need to purchase two of them.
The two trees are the European Beech Tree and the Juniper Tree, and, as you might have guessed, they both go for Farm Cash: 10 and 5 Farm Cash each, respectively. Also, if you'd like to refrain from purchasing the European Beech Tree, you can always just purchase the Juniper Tree and then hope to receive a European Beech tree from a Mystery Seedling when placing it in the Orchard.
Both of these trees are masterable, with the first star of mastery coming after 75 harvests of each tree, and they'll both be available to purchase in the store for the next two weeks.
Which of these two trees do you like more? Are you glad to see Zynga releasing more realistic trees to the game, or do you miss the more outlandish trees of updates past?

FarmVille LE English Countryside Animals: Cleveland Bay Horse & Sebright Chicken
Two new animals are now available to purchase in FarmVille this evening, with both of these animals coming in the English Countryside limited edition item theme. We've brought you a sneak peek of both of these animals in the past, and they come in the form of the Cleveland Bay Horse and the Sebright Chicken.
The Cleveland Bay Horse is the more expensive of the two animals (while neither one are cheap), being available for 26 Farm Cash. The Sebright Chicken, meanwhile, costs 20 Farm Cash. That's a pretty hefty price for a single chicken, but if you're a collector, you'll want to make sure to take a look at this pretty white option.
Remember, if you purchase the Cleveland Bay Horse, you'll have a chance to breed the horse in the Horse Stable to produce a Cleveland Bay Foal, which can then be shared with friends. To find a foal yourself, just watch out for news posts from your friends that have purchased the horse and successfully bred one themselves.
Both of these animals can be placed on either of your farms, and they'll be available in the game's store for the next two weeks.
Which of these animals do you like better? Are you a horse or chicken collector in FarmVille? How many animals do you have in your collections?

FarmVille LE English Countryside Buildings: English B&B & Riding School
It's interesting. After Zynga announced that they wouldn't be releasing as many items in FarmVille in the future, so that they could maintain the stability of the new English Countryside expansion, we haven't seen a slow down in new item releases - in fact, we've seen an increase! Not that we're complaining...
Tonight is no different, as two new buildings have been added to the limited edition English Countryside item theme in the form of the English B&B (B&B meaning Bed & Breakfast) and the Riding School. The Riding School goes along with the equestrian / sports items we gave you a sneak peek of in the past, and horse-lovers everywhere will want to add this large structure to their farms, even if it does cost 25 Farm Cash to do so. Unfortunately, this also happens to be the cheaper of the two buildings, as the English B&B costs 30 Farm Cash.
Both of these buildings come with fairly large footprints on your land, but the English B&B specifically is one of the largest buildings we've seen released to date. Keep that in mind when you head into the store to purchase one, as you might have to reorganize some items on your farm before making the splurge. No matter which item you choose to purchase, these two buildings are available for purchase on both the Home Farm and your second farm, but only for the next two weeks.
Which of these two buildings will you add to your farms? Will you purchase both items for the English Countryside farm, or for your Home Farm?

FarmVille LE English Countryside Decorations: Red Phone Booth, Cricket Gnome & More
As part of tonight's FarmVille update, we've seen the release of five new decorative items in the current English Countryside limited edition item theme. All five of these items are available to purchase for either your Home Farm or your second farm in the English Countryside, but remember, if you'd like to have one of these items on each of your farms, you'll need to buy them twice.
Interestingly, only one of these five items is priced for Farm Cash - that being the Cricket Gnome. It's not unusual to see Gnomes priced for Farm Cash (in fact, it would be unusual if one were available for coins), so you can expect to add the Cricket Gnome to your collection for 15 Farm Cash. You'll gain 1500 experience points for purchasing this cute little fella, which should make a nice addition to your collection, no matter which farm you place him on.
Meet us behind the break for a look at the other four decorations released this evening.
For the other four decorations, you'll need to be willing to spend anywhere from 2,000 to 150,000 coins to add these items to your farm. Starting with the least expensive item, we have the fourth installment in the "Spring Flowerbed" series - the Spring Flowerbed IV item which is available for 2,000 coins. A Jumping Fence (like that found in Equestrian activities) costs 8,000 coins each, while a Red Phone Booth goes for 50,000 coins. Finally, the most expensive of the four is the Cricket Garden, at the aforementioned 150,000 coin price tag.
It's worth noting that while the Cricket Garden is a fairly pricey item, it isn't very large, taking up an area no larger than a single plot of land. Keep that in mind when you go to shell out that many coins - it's not as visually impressive of an item as you might expect, as you can see from the store's preview image below.
Regardless of the item(s) you choose to purchase, you'll need to do so within the next two weeks, before they expire from the store.
Which of these decorations are you most excited about adding to your farm?
