FarmVille Scam Alert! Avoid English Stars Sheep News Feed posts

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.

FarmVille's 2nd Birthday is June 18, celebrate with farmers near you

Did you buy your present yet? If FarmVille were a girl, it would daddy's girl to Zynga, so it's only fitting for the father of the most iconic social lady game to date to ring its second birthday with a global bang. On June 18, the second year of FarmVille's existence in the Internet, over 2 thousand cities and 7 thousand players (as of this writing) are planning to meet up with their fellow farmers. Then, the drinks will flow, food will be feasted and celebrations will be had in honor of the ultimate Facebook addiction.

To join a meetup, all you have to do is search for your area--or an area you're digging on if you like to travel-- and click on the "Count me in!" button. If a meetup has not been made in your area, you can create and moderate your own. Most meetups have planners already, luckily, though you can volunteer your help to planners if you're feeling extra generous.

And don't worry, these things aren't going to be awkward, we promise. How am I so confident? Come on, even if you have nothing in common with the other people at your meetup, you all have the common denominator: FarmVille! Really, if only high school reunions had FarmVille in common.
